Alcove's loft is located right in the action of Old Montreal, close to restaurants and lots of attractions. As such we could hear some of the street action in the loft but the bedrooms were quite a bit quieter than the main floor. The place is exactly as it looked on the pictures and the kitchen worked well for our 4 night stay. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was very nice and the shower worked very well. We had dogs with us and the closeness of this loft to parks at the shoreline was very convenient. Street parking near the loft can be a challenge but there are lots of municipal parking lots within easy walking distance and you can expect to pay $30-35/day. We would definitely stay here again.
