Great apartment and fantastic location in the heart of the Plateau, with the main street (Mt. Royal) turned into a pedestrian-biker only strip till September. A stone's throw from St. Viateur Bagels, Rico Coffee, and Diabolissimo, where you can pick up outstanding fresh pastas and sauces for dinner. L'Avenue for brunch, Copper Branch for vegan... the list goes on. It's also less than two blocks from the grocery and a short walk to Mt. Royal Metro orange line. The apartment itself was airy and very pleasant, everything worked, the shower was good and hot, the beds and couch comfortable, kitchen reasonably well equipped, and there were interesting antiques and books. The owner is very communicative and does his best to be flexible re early/late checkin/checkout when he can be (based on his and the cleaner's schedule). Because of tenant-protection regulations (yay for locals being able to find somewhere to live), there aren't many Airbnbs in the Plateau that aren't on a main drag over a bar or a restaurant, so this was relatively quietish and a great find. Having said that, don't be surprised if people chat and smoke under your window at 3:30 am - that's the Plateau, and you're steps from the main drag. (We shrugged and shut the window.) The only drawback of this apt. was, for us, a stairway that was a bit challenging at the top (3 curved steps and steep first step down, and no banister on the curved part). If you're young/er and have no mobility issues, you probably won't even notice it, but for us older folk it was little challenging going down, though a really bright light helped a lot. Highly recommend this place!
