I loved my 17-night stay at Sylvie's loft apartment. The studio is on the 2nd floor of a beautiful quintessential Montreal walk-up. The location is excellent. I was able to walk all over the Plateau & Mile End, hike the mountain and walk to & from downtown several times. The flat is also very near the Laurier metro station, and to all the shops along Mount Royal (for groceries, pharmacy and other shopping). Sir Wilfred Laurier Park is only a few blocks away... a large, leafy expanse offering a thriving park culture and a 25 meter outdoor swimming pool. There are so many amazing cafes, restaurants and pubs in the area, though I will mention two outstanding ones that are extra close (5 minutes on foot) - Le Chien Fumant and Maison Publique. The apartment is well-appointed and super clean. The queen bed is very comfortable. The round table is great for eating or working. I was grateful for the in-suite laundry machines, coffee maker + coffee, and overall comfortable living space. There is a sweet back balcony that receives gorgeous afternoon/early evening sunshine. I will miss this place and hope to return again one day. Big thanks to Sylvie for her warmth & helpful hospitality, kindness and speedy communication re: occasional questions. Highly recommend this apartment!
