Steve was great (so was his assistant, also Steve) and the place was spacious, stylish, and very comfortable — an ideal place to decamp after a day in the city. Great location, too, in the buzzing heart of Plateau/Mile End — literally, a block-plus from Schwartz’s and The Main, two of the preeminent purveyors of that have-to-get Montreal delicacy, smoked meat. (Though it should be said that there’s an old-school adult cinema below the apartment; its old-schoolness is what saves it from being sleazy, but some may not feel the same. It was fine for us, no problem at all, even with two young children.) I also want to put in a word for Steve’s responsiveness — he was at-the-ready and quick to deal with anything that came up (for instance, a request for more towels; they were there within the hour). All in all, I would say, a gem. I’m very happy to have found it.
