Guest Access:
You’ll have full, exclusive access to the apartment during your stay. Guests must climb stairs not suitable for guests with low mobility.

The Neighborhood:
You'll be right on Mont-Royal Avenue, fun, picturesque, and full of life, yet quiet enough for a good night's sleep! It's the perfect spot for both couples and families seeking chill morning vibes and peaceful brunches, while night owls can hop over to Saint-Laurent's nightlife. Best of both worlds.

You're just 5 minutes from La Fontaine and Sir-Wilfried-Laurier Parks—great for morning runs, strolls with pets, or picnics—and within walking distance of the famous Saint-Denis and Saint-Laurent.

Bike:
Renting a bike is an excellent way to explore Plateau-Mont-Royal. Choose between a regular or electric BIXI and enjoy the borough’s numerous bike paths, including Saint-Denis and Rachel Streets. The Rachel path connects Mount Royal, Jeanne-Mance, and La Fontaine Parks, with plenty of BIXI stations along the way.

Parking:
Street parking in Plateau Mont-Royal can be tricky—read signs carefully. You cannot park on main avenues like Mont-Royal, and most side streets are for permit holders only. You can buy a 24-hour permit for $8 at any parking kiosk using code PMR02 and display it on your dashboard.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PARKING TICKETS, FINES, OR TOWING.

Other Things to Note:
This apartment is in a classic older building, typical of Montreal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal neighborhood — which is what makes it so appealing . It’s not a modern condo, but its authentic character and original details make it special. The windows are traditional guillotine style, and the floors have natural variations that add to the building’s charm. The unit is well-maintained and professionally cleaned, with effective heating and added window insulation during colder months to keep you comfortable. There is the potential for street noise, like traffic and passersby.

Group Stays: We manage all the units in this building and can host up to 35 guests across 5 apartments on 2 floors. If you’re travelling with a large group, reach out for a personalized offer.

Parking: You can’t park on main avenues like Mont-Royal, and most side streets are for permit holders only. You can buy a permit for $8 per 24 hours by entering the code PMR02 at any parking kiosk. Please display the permit on your dashboard. We are not responsible for parking fines or tickets. Read the signs carefully.

Certifications and Taxes: The apartment is certified by the Corporation de l'industrie Touristique du Québec. GST and QST taxes are included in the price. Business travelers can request an invoice for tax purposes.

Essentials Provided: We supply some basics for your arrival: trash bags, toilet paper, hand soap, shampoo, and dish soap. These are not replenished, so if you run out, you can get more from any grocery shop or pharmacy.

House Rules:
- You must be 18+ to book our awesome apartment.
- The apartment is on the 3rd floor, and there is no elevator. You’ll need to climb two flights of stairs.

- To help us keep the community happy, the apartment has a noise sensor (no recording). There’s also a smoke detector. Please don’t tamper with these.
- You’re responsible for any damages or extra cleaning costs if needed.

What a great place to stay! The location is everything-- it was so much fun to walk blocks and blocks of the pedestrian avenue. Even on a weekday night there were plenty of people and families out enjoying the evening, including street musicians. Our family loved it. We had coffee from the cafe below us, and a couple blocks away is a fantastic Montreal bagel place-- St. Viateur. Don't miss it. We also loved being close to so many food options... one we saw mentioned by locals repeatedly online was Ma Poule Mouillee (a chicken and poutine restaurant). It's in easy walking distance and the long line of people waiting to order was evidence enough of how yummy it was. SoLIT cafe, downtown, was also a huge hit (thanks, NYT). The big feature of the apartment is the location, but it was also pleasant inside. We loved coffee on the balcony each morning, and caught a gorgeous sunset there one evening. The kitchen and dining areas are a nice feature. The bathroom is updated (but could use new lights over the vanity) and the bedrooms were cozy and clean. Our family of six was very comfortable here. Favorite activities were Old Montreal, the botanical garden (with a walk-through of the Olympics area), a tour of the Notre Dame cathedral, and a hike up Mount Royal. We had such a pleasant time in Montreal-- public transport was easy and clean (we got the one-day unlimited use pass and it was perfect), the city was very walkable, everyone was friendly and helpful, and we'd visit again!
Up on the third floor in a delightful spot in a pedestrian avenue. Lots and lots of shops nearby, with a lot of local character (in a good way!)
The sunset from the balcony
There are so many restaurants, shops, ice cream stores, and little grocery stores along the street. I'm glad we stopped at this one
Montreal bagels are fantastic! We were in St. Viateur right at opening and could see them being made. Got one fresh from the oven!

Great location in an area with plenty of restaurants and shops on a pedestrian only street. There is a nice photo of the balcony in the listing but it looked unsafe to stand on. Plenty of beds maybe too many. My wife and I slept in a room with two large (queen size?) beds and a third smaller one. There were no nightstands, lamps, desks, or chairs in any or the bedrooms. Two or the bedrooms did not have air conditioning. The hall air conditioner spit out ice in the middle of one night. My son changed the filthy filter in the air conditioner in the front room. The light in the bathroom flickered on and off. There is no elevator and the stairway is very narrow and very steep.There is a refrigerator, microwave, stove, dishwasher, and coffee maker which was very convenient. Also, there is a dining table that seats six, which is where we congregated most of the time.All in all, despite the inconveniences, this was an enjoyable stay for our famliy of six adults and one three year old. I only point out the shortcomings in the hope that the host will make a few changes to make it a five star stay.

The location is excellent, and it was quieter at night than I expected. Parking is a hassle, but that’s understandable given it’s situated in a bustling part of the city. The only drawback is that there’s an odd smell when the heater is on, which could be improved. Overall, our whole family really enjoyed staying here.

We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment. The location was so convenient - lots of restaurants and bars in walking distance. Apartment was well appointed with the necessities. Only complaints - towels and shower curtain were pretty worn, no lamps/side tables in bedrooms, balcony covered with pigeon droppings and obviously not cleaned making it unusable. Apartment was very large and comfortable. Really good communication from Pablo. Would highly recommend.

Great spot to stay with friends and a dog

I'd originally booked at a different apartment in this complex with a balcony, but was contacted by the owner on the day of arrival that there were maintenance issues and we were offered this unit instead. It was just as described. Check-in was straightforward and I appreciated that they sent photos of the unit and entrance access codes. Unit was clean and cooled with a/c when arriving. Owner was quick to answer questions. Loved that it was dog-friendly! The units were very quiet and in a great city location.

Montreal Family Vacation

Ten members of my family stayed here for 6 days. It is located in a very walkable area of Montreal. It took less than 5 minutes to walk to a grocery store. The kitchen has a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and microwave. There are pots and pans as well. There's chairs and tables as well as bar stools allowing 8 to eat at a time. There's a washing machine and dryer right in the hallway. There's parking scattered around the city. It's just hit or miss if you'll find a free spot or a spot that you have to pay a few dollars a day to use. This was a convenient place for my family to stay and enjoy Montreal. It was also pet friendly.
