We had a very pleasant stay at Phil's 5-stars apartment. The apartment was tastefully decorated and had all the necessities for a comfortable stay. There was soap and shampoo, and dishwasher and laundry detergent. Towels, clean bedsheets, and comforters were provided. You could connect the TV to your Netflix account and relax. For visitors from suburban area, it was refreshing to be in the city, even with a building being constructed across the street. The wall to ceiling windows made the view still spectacular.
We paid extra to park in the parking spots below the building. We had to drive down 4 levels, and the turns were tight. We had to avoid cars parked in spots along the concrete walls. We had read the previous reviews beforehand, though, so we had brought a small car. Once in, we did not need to get out until we left.
The apartment is located very centrally, whether you are going to the Old Port district, the Downtown area or the Underground City. You can walk to any of these locations in 10 minutes. The area seems safe, even at night, though Montreal has a lot of homeless people.
Phil is a wonderful host, though we never met him. He replies very quickly and was accommodating to our requests. His instructions were very clear and detailed, and included photographs. We never had any trouble getting in and out of the apartment, even given all the key codes you need to know. Once you have the key fob though, everything is a tap - building, elevator, and garage.
We hope Phil as an opening the next time we visit Montreal. We will be back!
