The four of us (two adults, two kids under 10) stayed at Simon’s for a week in February. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Simon was very responsive, attentive and thoughtful. He checked in with us a couple times before our stay and during, and we felt welcomed and encouraged to ask questions/seek tips as things came up.
The apartment itself is lovely - restful and peaceful; the kitchen had everything we need - tea kettle and pot, microwave, good knives (including serrated for bread), toaster, rice cooker, etc etc etc; the bath tub is amazing. The lighting is excellent and really adds warmth to the place. You get a good view of Mont Royal from one side and you can see the Biodome from the opposite side, even without going to the roof. The bedrooms have block-out curtains.
The location is great. Lots of great small grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and parklets are within a short walk. Bus lines to downtown and the local metro stop are both a 10 min walk away.
We loved it =)
