We booked this place for 4 nights based on the amazing pictures and ideal location in the heart of old Montreal. We were definitely not disappointed when we arrived. Check in was very easy, the room was very modern, comfortable, and clean (our first trip since C-19, so this was critical), bed was great, and location amazing. We really enjoyed our stay and liked the TV system (easy to chrome cast) as well as the amenities provided (white noise machine) and amazing location steps from a ton of things.
Some things you should know before booking:
- communication through Airbnb with host was very poor. Very long response times for even simple requests like an extra tow/tissue box after staying a number of nights (12+ hours in daytime and no response on weekend)
- the street is LOUD on Friday and Saturday night especially. White noise helped but you are in the heart of old Montreal, so expect this noise until late night when bars close down. Unfortunately this noise persisted in early AM with tons of noisy construction so made it tough to get a relaxing sleep in. Again, you expect some of this with location but be prepared as this may not be for you
- bathroom doesn’t have a fully closing door, more of a sliding door that doesn’t offer a ton of privacy (frosted glass over majority of door but not all)
- parking is a challenge! Lots of options for more expensive lots (priced for daily parking) and some street parking, but lots of complicated signage in the area and we ended up with a big parking ticket despite following the signs. Be prepared to have some challenges here unless you want to pay the premium for the parking lots each day.
If you are okay with/aware of the above PSAs you will have an amazing time and we loved the value for this modern option and using Sonder which we trusted for our first trip since COVID.
