Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was clean and comfortable. There was construction on the street in front of the property making it a bit tricky to access the front door of the building. Once we figured out how to access the building, all was good. This is a walk up, it was not a problem for us to carry our luggage up the staircase, but could be difficult for some people. We walked to down town and old Montreal because we love walking and don't mind the distance (working off all the calories we ate with the great food!). Amour de Pain is just down the street and serves up delicious hot coffee and flaky croissants and sandwiches on homemade bread. I would stay again with a lighter suitcase (to carry up the stairs)! ##### Karen S. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carole P. Oct 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Rue Barée fermée, réparation.Stationnement gratuit aucun.Poêles à cuire désuètes.Pas de table de cuisine seulement un comptoir.Nous avons passé quand même une belle semaine, coin tranquille, à 24 min., de la rue Ste-Catherine, prix compétitif pour trois grandes chambres. ##### Carole P.
