This apartment is the one!
Historic building with character, tasteful decor & high ceilings feel large & special. Interior design is funky & stylish! Old-style windows add charm; although a bit of noise penetrates, the block & courtyard are surprisingly quiet. Upstairs neighbors can be heard from bed close to ceiling, but only at usual hours, & not from two main bedrooms.
Appliances are high-end. Kitchen well-equipped.
Overall: With its art, Bluetooth speaker, great tv & kitchen, designer furniture, quality towels & soaps — cleanliness & high-end fit & finish, without clutter —feel like staying at a recently renovated space of a fastidious owner, not like a soulless Airbnb.
Communication with Alain-Serge was great. We heard construction noise from neighbors; handled quickly! Check-in was in-person despite delayed arrival, with help with bags and a feeling of courteous welcome.
Had a great time staying here & recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in this wonderful neighborhood!
