First off, Filomena was an absolutely fantastic host! We found communication so easy, and any little issues (often caused by us!) were stress-free and easily sorted. The apartment made for a lovely temporary home and would definitely be our first choice if we found ourselves in Montreal again!
Secondly, we have to speak about the bed. The sheer size. The comfort. Honestly, without a doubt THE best bed either of us had slept on in any AirBnB or rental round the world. Missing it already.
The place is really well equipped, with a great shower, easy to use washing machine & dryer, and the kitchen was more than sufficient for the few months we spent there.
It's a short walk from Beaudry metro, and the location was generally good. Just be aware that at night the nearby street St. Catherine is often populated with intoxicated individuals, so if going out late it's good to go as a pair, but there are several lovely restaurants and the short walk to the harbour (especially when the weather's good) was fantastic!
Also, the apartment was much sunnier than we'd have thought given that it's a semi-basement- we had no trouble keeping plants & growing veg.
All in all, a brilliant place to live, would highly recommend, and will in all likelihood be staying again sometime in the future!
