About this property

Impossibly Cool Downtown Flat

Get ready to feel right at home in our cozy and inviting space. As you enter, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen, equipped to whip up delicious meals or explore the hundreds of unique restaurants all around the city to satisfy your culinary cravings!.

To ensure your comfort, we've carefully prepared the bed with fresh linens and towels, ready for you when you arrive. We've also provided all the essentials, so you can enjoy a refreshing shower after a day of exploring our vibrant city.

This place is James Dean. This place is Marilyn Monroe. Or, if you prefer, this place is Ryan Gosling and Scarlett Johansson. Either way - it's beautiful. It's cool. It's stunning and it's where you want to be. This place exists to give you a relaxing and luxurious sanctuary in the heart of downtown.

Some of the furniture is brand new, some is vintage thrifting, and some is hand made - but all of it is incredible and it all works together to deliver an experience that simply can't be topped.

But an apartment is more than its furnishings. For example, the balcony looks onto a quiet street. And it's the wall to wall windows in the living and bedrooms to get you your daily allotment of Vitamin D. And the more than ample storage space so that when you arrive, you can (if you like) put your luggage away and really kick up your feet and feel right at home. And it's its super cute kitchen and bathroom. Neither one is big, but both are just overflowing with charm.

Long story short - you're going to feel incredible when you're here.

You will have exclusive access to the entire apartment, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the comfort and convenience it offers. Feel free to make yourself at home and unwind in the cozy living area and bedroom. Additionally, we have thoughtfully provided a small workspace for any work-related tasks you may need to tackle during your stay. Stay connected with our high-speed internet, and when it's time to relax, enjoy streaming your favorite shows and movies on Netflix and Disney+ right from the TV. So go ahead, put your feet up, stay a while, and make the most of your time in our welcoming apartment.

We'll do our best to greet you upon arrival and show you around - but, if the logistics don't allow for that, we'll send out some simple self-check-in instructions that will get you all set up! After that, you'll be left to your own devices.

And speaking of devices, ours are always in our pockets. So if there is ANYTHING - day or night - we're available. Feel very free to reach out if there's need.

Being in such a central location is magnificent. You're at the foot of the mountain, but you're only a couple minutes from Sainte Catherine street. Mile End and our famous bagels are due north and world famous St Laurent is a few minutes east. No matter your fancy, it'll be well tickled from this space.

The metro station Place des Arts will be your home base at about a five minute walk from the flat. From there, the green line is all yours. If you wanna head north to the plateau, you can grab the 24 on Sherbrooke and disembark in three minutes (five if it's rush hour) at Saint Laurent and either make the leisurely stroll north, or grab the 55 if you've got a specific destination in mind. If Mile End and the bagels found therein tickles your fancy, it's just a few steps east toward Parc to grab the 80 north. And there's a Bixi stand super close to the apartment. And of course, Montreal is one of the most walkable cities in the world, so if you've got a comfy pair of kicks, you're all set!

Please take note of the following information regarding additional sleeping options: We are more than happy to accommodate your request for extra linens and supplies to cater to additional guests or individuals who prefer not to share the same bed. However, kindly note that we can only provide these upon request or if your reservation is booked for three or more individuals. Please understand that we do not automatically provide extra supplies unless specifically requested or booked for a larger party. This allows us to maintain a neat and organized space for all our guests to enjoy. Thank you for your understanding.

CITQ #: 294006
We do our best to accommodate everyone and make your stay nothing less than exceptional. We’re flexible, easy-going and will go out of your way to make you as comfortable as we can. We have always been hesitant to have too many rules, so it pains us to write all this. But after years of hosting, we’ve tried to develop rules that are fare and equitable for both parties. We’re happy to help any way we can. If you have any questions or concerns regarding a specific rule, do not hesitate to reach out.
1. SAFETY FIRST: If you notice anything that presents a danger that could result in damage to the location or to any individuals, let us know immediately. Genuinely, your safety is our primary concern. 2. BE RESPECTFUL: Please treat the place as though it were yours. Or better yet, treat it as if you were staying at a dear old aunt's home. An aunt with exceptional taste that is. Please don't use the towels to remove makeup. Please understand that we are not a hotel and damaged furniture and home goods are a major issue for us. 3. COMMUNICATE ANY ISSUES: That being said, accidents do happen, so please, if there ever is a problem just let us know. Most of the time it's not a big deal and, at the very least, we'll be able to start figuring out any logistics before the arrival of the next guests. And that's always a huge help for us. 4. NO SMOKING: Obviously, no smoking under any circumstances. And for the record, leaning your head out the window does not count as being outside - the smell always lingers. We've had issues with this before, and as such, breaking this rule will incur a $300 fine. Hope you understand! 5. TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Recognize that while the AC can be controlled from in the unit (from May – September), the building has central heating. If you need the temperature adjusted, please ask us and we will do our best to make sure you are comfortable. To that end, there is usually a portable heaters & fan in each flat! 6. NO PARTIES: Be considerate of the neighbors - parties or excessive noise are not allowed. This is a residential building where families and residents live and work. So, please respect the building’s quiet hours which are in the building are from 9PM – 8AM. We’re very strict about this: there is a decibel monitor in the space which will notify us of any excessively sustained loud noises during those times. 7. HEADS UP: Usually, a 24-hours notice is required in order to set up a unit for more than 2 guests, to set up an additional bed, or to set up a play-pen as these items are not stored on-site. That said, we will always try to go above and beyond to make you as comfortable as possible! 8. SECURITY: Please recognize and accept that we have cameras at the entry of the property. This is for yours and our security purposes. There are ABSOLUTELY NO CAMERAS or recording devices within the apartment itself! 9. MONTREAL GUESTS: Due to many many issues in the past, we very rarely accept guests from Montreal or the Montreal region. This includes, but is not limited to West-Island, Laval, Vaudreuil, Terrebonne, Longeuil, Ile-Perot etc. If your home address is within a 75 km radius from our property, and/or if your area code is either 514 or 438, we reserve the right to cancel your reservation at any time without cancellation penalties to the host. A note regarding above: You’re dealing with real people. We’re super reasonable, and if you happen to need a place to stay for whatever reason, we’re happy to help! But we need to feel comfortable with the reservation: So, don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you’re from Montreal and there are extenuating circumstances that make you want to stay with us. 10. EXTRA GUESTS: Under no circumstances are guests allowed to bring additional people to the property that were not originally listed on the reservation. We reserve the right to charge up to an additional $50 per person, per night, for any additional guests. 11. LATE CHECKOUT: We always do our best to give you a free late checkout whenever possible, provided it’s scheduled in advance. That said, we only schedule one person to clean your space. If you are more than 30 minutes past (the agreed upon) check-out, we’ll have to charge you an additional $25 for cleaning. (We’ll have to send an additional person over to get the cleaning turned over in time.) 12. LEGAL JARGON 1: Failure to comply with our house rules is grounds for immediate cancellation of the reservation and eviction from the property without reimbursement and with possible penalties to the guest. 13. LEGAL JARGON 2: And for the usual liability clause: Guests take full responsibility for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses that occur while on the premises or its facilities. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises. Guests recognize that they may personally purchase insurance to protect themselves in such events.

Older property needs updating
The thing this property has going for it is its location near McGill University and much of downtown Montreal. The building and property are old. There was only one of two elevators working, and the elevator was very bumpy. The apartment itself is adequate but needs work. The paint was peeling throughout, and the bathroom is really dated, has no electrical outlet (at least that I could find), leaky faucets, and has a leaky toilet. The place served its purpose, but I wouldn't stay there again.

Perfect location for visiting McGill students
This was an ideal location for visiting our daughter at McGill who also lived in “the ghetto”. Minutes from McGill, Sherbrooke Street and downtown Montreal. The apartment is basic but had everything we needed including a very comfortable bed, well-stocked kitchen and the owners were extremely responsive and provided extra towels and a few other items we needed.
