The location of this apartment is fantastic. In the middle of old town Montreal, just at the corner of main pedestrian thoroughfare, a block from Notre Dame basilica, a block from waterfront (including science museum for kids). Tons of cafes, restaurants nearby. A 15-20 minute walk to financial district and central part of new Montreal, with more restaurants, lively neighborhoods.
Apartment is on fourth floor, bright and roomy. Good airconditioning. Large living/dining room next to big, well-equipped kitchen. Master bedroom (queen bed) and second bedroom (two twin beds) are large and share a nice master bathroom plus half bathroom. Master bedroom+master bathroom can be closed off with a door for privacy.
Loft bedroom upstairs (one twin bed) is very spacious as well and has its own full bathroom (no privacy door to loft area). No windows but there is a skylight (which cannot be covered) in loft. Lots of closet, unpacking space throughout apartment. Free parking provided as part of rental in a covered lot that is a two-minute walk from building.
The apartment does have some street noise but this usually quiets down by midnight even on weekends (and this is more than compensated for by location). Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our few days here and would unhesitatingly book this apartment if we were coming back here in the future.
Tips: Aura--half hour light and music show at basilica is worth going to. LOV--a chain with upscale (and delicious) vegan dining. Creperie Suzette and Eggspectation around the corner are great for breakfast, casual meals.
