Martin was exceptionally welcoming and met me a few doors away and went with me to where I needed to park and helped carry some luggage back to the apartment for me. Everything was wonderful. The only downs at all were the kitchen sink gurgling when upstairs ran water & significant vibration when a neighbor's washing machine was spinning - both these things however at very appropriate times of day and no disturbance at night. Overall, an awesome experience and I would definitely stay again. I walked from the Secret Studio to everywhere I went (Parc Mont Royal, Old Port, Parc La Fontaine, to the awesome vegan restaurant Martin recommended, grocery supplies, bank, etc.). Martin was available but did not interfere in any way - a perfect host. The only issue I can think of someone may have is navigating the narrow spiral staircase up to the studio. I liked having the kitchen and not having to eat every meal out during my three night stay. Thank you Martin!
