We were so happy we extended our month-long stay by another four days! This location is ideal. There are great restaurants nearby, including Fiorellino for pizza, which is right by one of the building’s entrances. We also liked Chifa and Nyk’s on Rue de Bleury. Everything we needed for daily life was in walking distance - coffee shop, gym, groceries, drugstore. The apartment is just a few blocks from Rue St. Catherine, which is packed with stores and restaurants (The walk to St. Catherine is uphill - something to consider if you have any physical mobility issues.) The apartment is also very close to entrances to the Metro and the underground shopping center, though we didn’t spent much time underground because we had excellent weather all September. It was nice to sit in Victoria Square (right by the W hotel) and the plaza in front of nearby Notre Dame. The loft itself is spacious … we aren’t used to loft living but two of us plus our small dog didn’t feel crowded at all. Maybe less crowded than at home. There are kitchen supplies, though we never cooked because there are so many good options for eating out/take-out in Montréal. There are plenty of cleaning supplies as well as detergent for the dishwasher and washing machine. If you’re coming with a car, I suggest asking the host to book you a space in the garage attached to the building. I think it’s better to pay for that convenience rather than drive around looking for parking. The hosts were quick to help us out with that and when we couldn’t figure out how to turn the heat on when it got chilly. This was our first visit to Montréal and we loved the city. We would return to the city and this apartment in a heartbeat!
