We absolutely loved this place! It has real Montreal charm and its zest for summer and the arts. From all of the unique art to th eclectic use of space, to the loving restoration of its old bones.
We booked on very short notice for my husbands birthday with the only thing on the agenda, a dinner at Au Pied de Couchon. This loft was literally a 5 minute walk to the restaurant as well as all the other things we love in the Plateau. Dany responded immediately and was very communicative. The House rules and information are super clear and helpful.
We arrived in Montreal earlier than expected and after a shop at the Jean Talon Market we sent a text to Dany letting him know that we were already there and he responded immediately that we were clear to go into the loft early.
We were nervous about parking from the other reviews but Ill be honest, we just read the signs and were absolutely fine! We settled in right away and took our Market spread of fresh cheese, bread and fruit to the rooftop patio, popped the cork on a bottle of Veuve Cicquot and enjoyed the breeze and sunshine for a few hours. We were able to leave the loft 5 minutes before our dinner reservation (can be quite hard to get into this restaurant). After dinner we wandered through Parc LaFountaine which is a gorgeous park right nearby. It was filled with people singing, lounging and just enjoying the outdoors. There were even some outdoor performers even though it was quite late. the neighbourhood is just so friendly and alive.
The next day we enjoyed coffee and croissants on the rooftop before packing up and heading out to Patati Patata for burgers and frites to enjoy before our hike up the mountain. After that we swung by Swartz's and Saint Viateur bagels and even hit the Jean Talon for more luscious strawberries on the way out!
This loft is immaculately clean and has everything you could possibly need. The beds were super comfortable, the internet was fast, the fridge is huge, there is a ton of counter space and every single thing you need from cork screw, to knives and wine glasses. It had everything we needed and was located perfectly!
Our only complaint about our trip was that we didn't book more days :( . Thank you, Dany for being an amazing host. We fell in love with your loft and we will be back!
