We had a lovely stay at Lise’s classic Montreal flat in Le Plateau, known as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world! You can’t beat the location. Five minute walk to the Laurier Metro station, which takes you into the centre of the city in just a few stops. We found we most often went to Place D’Armes station (five quick stops) which puts you within easy walking distance of beautiful Vieux Montreal and the downtown core. If you like walking, all of the wonderful Plateau neighbourhood is easily accessible on foot. The flat is comfortable. The pictures don’t really do it justice. There is a separate bedroom with a comfortable double size bed, plus an office with a folded-out futon. The full kitchen has all you need, unless you feel you must have a microwave. A minor quibble: there isn’t a lot of drawer or closet space for storing clothes. We never really fully-unpacked, but this didn’t bother us. If you suffer from cat allergies you should be aware that cats used to live in this flat and there is still some evidence of their presence. Lise is very nice, and always responded promptly to messages or concerns. We wanted to get a feeling of what it might be like to live in le Plateau – more of a “locals” experience than being a tourist – and this location fit the bill perfectly. Location! Location! Location! In my opinion, there is no question that you can’t beat it!
