We had a great experience at the Studio and in Montreal and we look forward to coming back many times. The location is a cool part of town that reminded me of parts of Brooklyn. Citi bikes are available nearby and the subway is close enough to get everywhere. The Thai restaurant on the same block has great pho, and the bagel place is bustling for breakfast. L'Express is a good dinner option. During the heat wave, the air conditioner was pure heaven! We spent more time in the apartment than we normally would, but the stylish decor and efficient space made it a great place to hang out. Now that you've decided to choose The Studio, let me help you find it since it's on a back alley above ground level. Look for a red spiral staircase leading to a door with a bat picture to greet you. Directly above the rear entrance to the St-Viateur Bagel Shop. Eric was there when we needed him, and allowed us to check in early - very helpful. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!
