Eight of us stayed for five nights; we found the location in an expanding urban neighborhood appealing, although street/crowd noise at night was an occasional issue. 4 blocks to one Metro stop and 6 blocks to another made for easy access for our day trips. The famous Atwater Market was 6 blocks away and we had breakfast pastries there daily!! We grilled on the deck two nights, and enjoyed the stars and lights of the city every late-evening. Plenty of space to spread-out. The unusual spring heat wave made the 48 steps more of a challenge as we are all over 60! We didn't know the main bathroom would have windows to the living room, but "made it work". Overall, had a great Montreal visit/experience, and would give this loft a very favorable rating, and at a very reasonable cost per person.
