Hotel ZOZO 2 is a thoughtfully designed and tastefully furnished home tucked away on a quiet street in Hochelaga. I was very happy to stay there for two weeks. It is decorated with high-end finishings and stocked with everything you need to feel comfortable during your stay. (To be more specific, that includes a fully equipped kitchen with a coffee maker, a modern bathroom with shampoo, conditioner and lots of towels, and air conditioning and ceiling fans) . The beds are luxurious and the living/dining area is larger than the photos indicate.
I should mention that the part of Rue Sainte Catherine that the corner adjoins to is not my favorite spot, but the home's proximity to Rue Ontario more than makes up for it. It is just a short walk to the food store, the pharmacy, clothing and tech stores, and what are now some of my favorite restaurants. Station Joliette is also nearby if you need/want to use the metro. And of course there are lots of parks, green spaces, and bike paths nearby (gotta love Montreal).
I visited with my sister (and two cats), but there was easily enough room for three more people. Oh, and the office space in the master bedroom was incredibly useful, as I was telecommuting for work. Never got a chance to meet the host, but all of my questions/concerns were quickly answered via email/text. I definitely recommend this place.
