My girlfriend's tour passed through Montreal and after her show she had two days off on what happened to be the weekend of her birthday. We both figured what better way to celebrate and enjoy some downtime than to break away from the rest of the crew and have a mini vacation. Enter Elliott's Mile End Hideaway -- the perfect setup. A neat single room with the essentials: comfortable murphy bed, kitchen counter, and dining nook, and a small, efficient bathroom. It was walking distance from the venue she played, not to mention countless restaurants, clubs, bakeries ... virtually anything you'd want and need (pharmacies, banks, general conveniences).
Given we were both traveling light and didn't intend to entertain guests, this was pretty much all we needed and perfect at that. Elliott is always around and even though we didn't get to meet, it was nice knowing he was in the adjoining property in case we needed something. Another pro is the keypad system on the doors .. totally removes the element of stress that comes with losing keys, worrying about theft + other such travel nightmares. Then again, Elliott has clearly designed this place to accommodate people who are looking for somewhere to relax in cosy discretion and safety. Not sketchy at all. Thanks !
