We very much enjoyed our stay at Istifan's loft.
The location was very convenient We could easily walk anywhere in Vieux-Montréal in 10-15 minutes, and there were many restaurants, cafes, and other similar options literally just a few minutes away on foot. Many other popular areas in the city could be walked to in 30-40 minutes or less. For the less ambulatorily inclined, metro stops are not far, and rideshare is also an option.
The loft itself was stylish, well appointed, comfortable and unexpectedly spacious. It was pleasantly well lit with natural light, but also the windows also included shades that did a fine job allowing you to sleep in as long as you liked. It spoiled us for other Airbnbs.
Istifan was a fine host: responsive and accommodating where possible.
