I came into Montreal for the Formula 1 Grand Prix and to do some limited sight-seeing with my non-race time.
The place is very conveniently located - less than a 5-minute walk to a (green line) Metro station. Also close to Chinatown (Quartier Chinois), Norte Dame, etc. Convenience stores, bars, places to eat, etc. are within easy walking distance as well.
Personally, I like walking since you can stumble upon unexpected adventures while getting to your intended destination and divert if you do wish. The unit is a little less than an hour walk to the Mount Royal lookout and slightly more than an hour to Little Italy. (Had a fantastic lunch at Quindici (“15”) and some delicious gelato at a nearby gelateria.)
While only a block from a major street, its particular location is very quiet. Also, not sure if I was lucky or if it’s the norm, but there were no loud noises from anyone else staying in the building. In fact, I can’t recall even soft sounds coming from other places in the building.
The space was tastefully furnished - the pictures are absolutely representative. While “only” a studio (and while I was staying by myself), the room is large enough to very comfortably accommodate couples without feeling like you’re on top of each other. An occasional chair, small loveseat, a dinette set that won’t have your plates crowded together, etc. Even the bathroom is a good size with plenty of countertop space.
There is good natural light and plenty of lights as well - two bedside lamps, a floor lamp, a ceiling light, and lights by the door and in the kitchen.
The unit was very clean with some nice welcoming touches: a towel “sculpture” on the bed with two small chocolates and a synthetic rose, towels in the bathroom with “roses” as well, etc. (The hosts provide two large bath towels, a hand towel, and wash cloths.)
It may seem like a small thing, but there are plenty of hangars and plenty of closet space. You’d be surprised how many Airbnb hosts provide only a few hangars or even none at all.
The hosts are extremely responsive and provided some web links about Montreal. The lockbox makes check-in / check-out very easy as coordinating a key exchange can get tricky at times. The instructions for checking in were very clear.
I would absolutely, without reservation, stay here again.
