Nice room with queen sized bed

Reviews

• Reviewer: Jesse

  Comments: Jen was very accomodating. The room was fine, though being an old building you hear any conversations/people there. Great location though, near the metro, plateau, mile end. Lots of great restaurants nearby.

• Reviewer: Peter

  Comments: Plateau Montreal Artisinal is value for money. The location is ideal and there is an excellent range of cafes, restaurants and bars handy. The Metro is close by. The accommodation was adequate and the breakfast was great. This accommodation is more in the range of a guest house than a BnB. Peter and Jenny

• Reviewer: Kim

  Comments: We really enjoyed our stay. Great location – close to BIXI stand, metro, shops, restaurants and cafes. Jen is super easy to get along with.

• Reviewer: Robert Halley

  Comments: We had a great stay at Jen's place, It was an old buliding but full of characteristics, close to METRO, and shops. The rooms are colorful with comfortable beds. Breakfast was excellent. Jen is very accomodating. i highly recommend Jen's place.

• Reviewer: Hana

  Comments: I do not recommend this place. I arrived on a hot day, there was no air condotion, bed much to small for a couple, room is dark and not appealing at all The room description is definitely deciving Not worth even to stay even for free! Check out other places Best of luck - H.

• Reviewer: Rosa

  Comments: I stayed in Montreal for one night so my friends and I enjoyed Jen's hospitality!! The breakfast was really good, thanks for everything

• Reviewer: Kristin

  Comments: This was a cute apartment in a very great location in Montreal. Jen was a very helpful and generous host. Breakfast was simple, but very delicious. My only complaint was that the room is on a fairly busy street and when you have the window open in the morning (which is needed in the summer), it can be very load very early (~6am). Other than that, it was a great place.

• Reviewer: Antonia

  Comments: Jen's b&b is a great place to stay, she is very sweet, prepares breakfast with lots of love, the rooms and bathroom are super clean, great location and very independent, it is easy to feel at home. Also, you should try Jen's massage, she is awesome!

• Reviewer: Alex

  Comments: Great location. Nice breakfast. Jen was a pleasant and informative host. I'm very glad I did this for my first trip to Montreal and I would definitely do this again.

• Reviewer: Danielle

  Comments: Jen is a great host--very accommodating, makes a lovely breakfast with endless cups of coffee and her rooms are all neat and clean. The location is perfect and within walking distance of lots of great food and Montreal sights. Our room had a fan but others might find the lack of air conditioning challenging in the summer. We had a really nice stay.

• Reviewer: Jean

  Comments: It was perfect! the house is charming and you feel like in your own home. Jen is very welcoming and her breakfast is delicious. A very great host! I've already decided to come back.. Thanks Jen!

• Reviewer: Huda

  Comments: We booked with Jen pretty last minute and found her to be very cooperative and accommodating. The location is centrally located, right next to a subway stop and near everything Montreal has to offer. Jen made us a delicious bagel breakfast in the morning, and was very flexible with our check-in/check-out time.

• Reviewer: Matthew

  Comments: The place was great. Jen was very hospitable and we had a really comfortable and fun visit to Montreal

• Reviewer: Tara

  Comments: Great place in a really handy location very easy to see the city, on a lovely street full of restaurants and shops. Very nice building with old school charm, very arty feel. Beds where comfortable room was large and airy with huge window. no air con but the fan in the room worked grand. Wifi and free parking was an extra bonus. Breakfast every morning was lovely. If I get back to Montreal I will stay there again.

• Reviewer: Bill

  Comments: We were in town just for one night, and Jen's place worked great! Very easy to arrive, and everyone was very friendly.

• Reviewer: Anna

  Comments: Jen was very welcoming and responsive. She and her friend provided a delicious and substantive breakfast in the morning. Nice neighborhood right on St. Denis. Large sunny room with comfy queen mattress. Fun and funky decor, nice little terrace and ktichen. Couple of things: 1) there are two bathrooms- one with toilet, the other with sink and bathtub. The sink drained realy slowly so was a little discouraging. Shower was fine, water pressure a little low. 2) our room, the Green Room, is right on St. Denis - trucks ROARing woke us early a.m. 3) be sure to take your room key with you when you go to the bathroom, etc, otherwise your door will lock! Maybe I'm fussier than my younger reviewers, but these are important to note. Otherwise, a very nice stay with friendly and knowledgable hosts.

• Reviewer: Marshall And Denise

  Comments: Jen was a gracious host and very friendly. The accomodations were more than adequate and breakfasts were yummy. We even got a free concert in the bargain.

• Reviewer: Steve

  Comments: We strongly recommend this location. We would surely stay here again in the future. NOTE: There are 3 rooms at this location. 2 of them face St Denis, and this is a busy street with traffic noise. The 1 room in the back, away from St Denis, is much quieter. This is our favorite room. The location, one block from Metro/Laurier is excellent. The building is from 1890, and has a lot of character. There are 2 flights of stairs to get up to the rooms. Jen is a very welcoming and conscientious host. She went beyond our expectations and helped us with some issues with our room and the AirBNB website. We are most appreciative. Breakfast was very good. We stayed here for one week. in 2 of the 3 rooms. (BTW: The beds in these 2 rooms are folders, and are a bit harder than we like.)

• Reviewer: Steve

  Comments: This is a fine place to stay. Jen is calm, welcoming, and has a nice sense of humor.

• Reviewer: Jackie

  Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Jen's B&B. Rooms were airy and clean with a kind of artistic feel that I fell immediately in love with. B&B is in a great central location, surrounded by many great shops, restaurants, and bars, and near Metro station. Jen is welcoming, enthusiastic, and warm. Yummy, filling breakfast was a great start to each morning!

• Reviewer: Ruth

  Comments: I really enjoyed my stay at Plateau Montreal Artisinal B&B. The room was just right, the bed was very comfortable and the location was excellent with metro and bixie bike options just round the corner. There are some nice little restaurants across the street as well. I slept in each day and Jen and Theresa were very kind about leaving out my breakfast for me. I felt quite at home.

• Reviewer: Bertier

  Comments: Very well located, one of the best restaurant in town across the street, walking distance to Montreal vibrant life. Building is old but comfortable, rooms are big (ask for the one on the backside it's very quiet). Jen has been very arranging, considering my impossible schedule ! Great host !!

• Reviewer: Tracy

  Comments: Loved the funky charm of this place...the colours, artwork and ideal neighbourhood made for a comfortable stay. Jen was a good host and made me feel welcome. Tracy

• Reviewer: Conor

  Comments: Jen was very accommodating and helpful! We were delayed by 2 hrs and arrived close to midnight and she waited for us to arrive and was very nice in assisting us in settling in. The place is located in a fun neighborhood, and right near the Metro. Highly recommend!

• Reviewer: Billie

  Comments: Jen is very friendly and helpful and the place is very laidback, comfortable and well located.

• Reviewer: Ian

  Comments: Awesome location! Eclectic house that made us feel like we were living in the heart of Montreal. Great base for explorations. Jen provided great service.

• Reviewer: Kerrie

  Comments: Jen's place is private, clean and very central to everything. I enjoyed staying here. Jen would come and visit everyday (as she lives a few blocks away) and would have breakfast and fresh fruits for you in the morning. She was also great company and would have a little chat with you :) I would highly recommend your stay here if you're visiting Montreal.

• Reviewer: Amanda

  Comments: What an awesome place to stay in Montreal. So close to Laurier metro station, this bnb is the perfect way to simulate how the locals live in this beautiful city. Jen was a great host, she pops in everyday to make sure everything is ok in the house and you'll hopefully get to meet some fantastic guests as I did. If I ever go back to Montreal I will definitely stay her as you feel like you're living in someone's house and the owner isn't home :) If you are a light sleeper I would strongly recommend asking for the back bedroom or the one in the middle (it doesn't have any windows so if you're a fresh air freak that might be something to take into consideration). I had the large room at the front and it was massive; I sleep with ear plugs and a couple of nights the traffic kept me awake, but overall I loved staying here 100%. Direction from the metro - when you get off the tube (if heading north on Montmorency direction) go towards the exit that doesn't have stairs visible. There'll be an escalator and then a flight of stairs and exit at the Gilford doors. As you look right this is the bus stop, I think they terminate here and it looks like a dead end street. There's a street that veers off to the left and at the end there's some traffic lights (you'll walk past some restaurants on the left, a pizza joint on the corner on the right), when you're standing next to the pizza place, cross over the road (across the 4 lanes, not the crossing that flows with the traffic) and the door is basically right there in front of the lights. There's no sign indicating the name of the bnb, just keep an eye out for the door as it's a bit hard to see at first. It's in between the shops and I walked past it the first time.

• Reviewer: Tom

  Comments: This is a nice place to stay. Jen was helpful in telling us about places to go for food, music, etc. It's right on Saint-Denis, a good spot for restaurants and beer. Accomodations were basic but comfortable.

• Reviewer: Emma

  Comments: I had a great stay! The location is excellent near the metro and it is in a really nice area. It was so easy to get around. I loved having so much common space to hang out in and I really like the style of the B&B. There are a lot of neat instruments and art. I also like the make your own breakfast style (she makes sure the kitchen is stocked with nice fruit, bagels, eggs, etc) and having a place to cook if needed. Jen is very welcoming and checks up to make sure all is well. My stay was short, but staying here made my Montreal experience awesome.

• Reviewer: Jules

  Comments: Jen went out of her way to ship some things we'd left behind. She's a kind and gracious host, and her place is in a great location. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

• Reviewer: Jessica

  Comments: Jen is a very lovely and friendly host. She was easily contacted for questions and recommendations throughout my stay. Her B&B is in an traditional Montreal home and was very charming. The fruits and bagels were a nice and welcome touch! The only minor issue would be the fact that some of the rooms are right on St.Denis--so if you are sensitive to noise (e.g. traffic) you may want to ask for a room at the back or bring ear plugs.

• Reviewer: Rachel

  Comments: Great place, very cozy and relaxing at a great price. Also it's in a really cool area which was great to explore and very easy to get downtown. Jen is really accommodating and very sweet. Highly recommended!

• Reviewer: Suparna

  Comments: Jen was a lovely host. She has a very welcoming and easy going personality and provided helpful information about the area and places of interest. The apartment is conveniently located; it is close to restaurants & nightlife and also has a metro line nearby. There is a shared bathroom but other house guests staying at the same time as us were very considerate.

• Reviewer: Alina

  Comments: Jen has a really cool place that's super easy to find. It has a fantastic old-style charm and the other people that were staying there were very friendly :) I recommend this place for sure, if you want to take the metro, use Laurier station, but for the best restaurants near by, walk in the other direction towards mont royal station :) :)

• Reviewer: Jessica

  Comments: We had a great stay! The location was perfect for us - a few minutes from the metro, and within 15 mins of our favourite cafes and pubs. I had anticipated that the house may be cold given it was old (and the time of year), but it was nice and toasty. The house is pretty creaky, and there was a fair amount of noise from the street, so if you're a light sleeper it may not be for you. We didn't find it a problem, and would definitely stay there again.

• Reviewer: Andrea

  Comments: Jen's Artisinal B&B is an artsy, shabby-chic multi-dwelling home right on Rue St. Denis in Montreal. As such, it is perfectly situated between the English-speaking/hipster side of town and then French-speaking side of town. Moreover, the inn is an easy walk to Mont Royal park, old town, and to most of the major attractions in the city center. For any further out destinations, you will find yourself a mere block away from the Laurier Metro Station. All amenities were provided by Jen, including bagel breakfasts, internet access, bedding, towels and basic toiletries. Accommodations were perfect.

• Reviewer: Thomas

  Comments: We arrived at this two-storey residence very easily from the Amtrak station. Jen was home when we arrived to let us in. She showed us around briefly and then let us be to ourselves. Despite sharing the building with other guests, our room was very private. We were very comfortable and the location in the city is very close to restaurants, cafes, and Metro stations and bus lines. We had a great stay! Recommended for either couples or families with children.

• Reviewer: Thea

  Comments: Jen runs a very pleasant B&B in a wonderful and conveniently located neighborhood of Montreal. She was very reliable both in her communication before arrival and in setting us up for a lovely stay. We would love to stay again!

• Reviewer: Lynnee

  Comments: I am so happy to have chosen this place. I'm a dj who drove to Montreal from Vermont with a gig that ended at 2am. Jen met me at the B&B at 2am, with keys in hand and a pleasant smile. My room was clean and I feel in love with the Frida Khalo inspired bathroom. super clean and warm during those wintery night. great deal.

• Reviewer: Andrea

  Comments: Jen's B&B was the perfect place for our first Montreal (and airbnb) experience. From the start Jen was quick to respond and helpful with information.. she is a great host and seems to run the b&b professionally. We had to postpone our plans due to a snowstorm but Jen could accommodate us a day late with no problem, which was much appreciated. The Mile End area was a great location to get a well-rounded idea of the city, we were really happy to have ended up there instead of some other locations we were considering. The house is old but it has tons of charm. We were lucky to have the whole space to ourselves the first night.. after a full day of walking around we made dinner in the kitchen and spent the evening playing with instruments in the living room. The next night there was a full house which got a little noisy due to echoing voices and creaky floors.. but really not a problem. This may be petty to mention but I would recommend bringing your own pillow if you prefer sleeping a little elevated. Overall it was a pleasant, fun and hassle free visit to Montreal, we would definitely stay here again!

• Reviewer: Sandrine

  Comments: Good location in the vibrant neighborhood "Plateau" and vintage spot. Metro station just nearby. Jen is not living in the apartment, so if you need advices for your stay, prepare questions when you meet the first day. The breakfast was very basic. Generally, we promote it for young travelers.

• Reviewer: Melissa

  Comments: Jen's place was great! The location especially. Everything was right around the corner, just brilliant. The room was a comfortable and Jen left bagels and cream cheese out each morning for breakfast, YUM!! Would thoroughly recommend.

• Reviewer: Jim

  Comments: Excellent location just a little distance from the metro and walking distance to lots of places on rue St Denis and the Mont Royal. Breakfast supplied was very much appreciated and Jen also responded quickly to any requests we made. This was our first experience with an Airbnb flat and Jen has set a very high benchmark for any future hosts we use. Thanks Jen

• Reviewer: Lauren

  Comments: I felt very comfortable in this beautiful space! The location was convenient in the Plateau.

• Reviewer: M

  Comments: Jen was very helpful, (especially in figuring out Montreal parking regulations) and the accommodation were in a nice historic building and great location. As mentioned by others the short helpful guide that was left in the room was nice to have too.

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: Jen is a great host! The B&B was really nice, close to everything: metro, bixi bikes, shops, Miles End, Little Italy, Outrement...Very cool to stay in this authentic place during the week I had a conference in Montreal.

• Reviewer: Bernard

  Comments: Thank you, Jen, for your opinion about us. Concerning the pair of trousers, is it possible to get them next saturday, about 1 or 2 pm? I have problems with my phone web. At the moment, we are in Quebec city. May our guess, Anick Gosselin, phone you tonight. Many thank Bernard

• Reviewer: Eva

  Comments: I stayed for 3 nights at Jen's place. I felt at home straight away and experienced Jen as flexible and friendly host. So yes, I definitely recomment staying at the B&B!

• Reviewer: Alysse

  Comments: Jen's place was great! Very well located in the Plateau and close to a metro station for further city exploration. Jen welcomed us, took the time to show us around the house and answered all the questions we had. She also showed us travel books on Montreal and area for guests. We also appreciated that she gave us directions for a free parking near the house. That was super helpful! On the downside of things, a little general cleaning of the place would be useful to make the overall experience an excellent one!

• Reviewer: Aurélie

  Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at Jen's . The flat has character and feels like home. decorated with good taste. The place is ideally located and very close to nice bars and restarants. We appreciated the morning bagels very much ! a very good experience and Jen was perfect with the communication ! we would love to go back !

• Reviewer: Jonathan

  Comments: It was a very quaint place in a great part of town. Nothing bad to say!

• Reviewer: Melissa

  Comments: Jen was a great host. Super nice, helpful, and gave us a lot of information about Montreal. The place is in a GREAT location, close to everything. Wifi was great. I recommend this place if you are on a budget, but looking for easy access to everything Montreal has to offer!

• Reviewer: Tina

  Comments: Excellent location! Lots of great restaurants and shopping nearby. Just a short walk to the Metro. Jen was very helpful in terms of navigating the city and public transport. Overall, great! Thanks again!

• Reviewer: Krystle

  Comments: Quirky place in the absolute perfect location. Tons of boutiques along the same street, and walking distance to most places worth seeing. Jen was a genuinely kind host and willing to offer advice on the area. Plus, I met two really awesome travelers at the B&B... seems to be a place that attracts interesting people!

• Reviewer: Hannah

  Comments: We had a great experience at Jen's B&B! Went up to Montreal for the jazz festival, and Jen's place was a great deal. Not expensive, perfectly clean, and above all well-situated in the city (one block from the subway and located in the great Plateau area with lots to do/eat nearby). The only drawback was that the B&B isn't air-conditioned (same goes for many buildings in Montreal), but it worked fine for us because we got the one room with the AC unit.

• Reviewer: Marcel

  Comments: Great! Awesome!! Fantastic!!! Very Nice And colourful House in the Place to be.

• Reviewer: Sabra

  Comments: Jen was an excellent host! She was very flexible about our late arrival and gave us some great information about the neighborhood and tips for getting around Montreal. We didn't see her for the rest of the weekend, but she was available via email or phone in case we needed anything. The room and house were beautiful and we especially enjoyed the delicious Montreal bagels for breakfast. Thanks Jen!

• Reviewer: Leslie

  Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Plateau Montreal B&B. This is a lovely old apartment – large, bright, full of Quebecois character¬, and very well located just a short walk from the Laurier Metro. The shared bathroom and common areas worked well for me as I enjoyed socializing with the other travellers and felt very safe and comfortable. Our host Jen was welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. This was my first AirB&B experience, and one I would gladly recommend to others.

• Reviewer: Michel

  Comments: Appartement très bien situé dans un quartier très agréable Confort assez sommaire, bien adapté à des jeunes Bon rapport qualité prix Contact très agréable avec J'en

• Reviewer: Vincent

  Comments: La chambre est idéalement située, proche du métro, dans un quartier dynamique et très vivant en soirée. La maison est pleine de charme et propre. Nous avons eu un peu l'impression d'être dans une auberge de jeunesse, plusieurs chambres étant louées avec des voisins tous les jours différents. Jen est très sympathique mais n'habite pas sur place, il faut donc l'appeler et lui donner rendez-vous à l'arrivée.

• Reviewer: Isabelle

  Comments: Lieu pittoresque plein de charme et propre. Les propriétaires n'habitent pas sur place mais étaient là pour nous accueillir. Plutôt bien situé, seul bémol notre chambre donnait sur la rue St Denis qui reste bruyante la nuit.

• Reviewer: Jessica

  Comments: This was our first air bnb and Jen was really friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay in Montreal and felt the location was perfect as a base for seeing the city.

• Reviewer: Bernice

  Comments: Jen's room worked out fine for me. The location was primo, easy short walk to the Laurier Metro stop and Bixi bikes, on St Denis, close to Mont Royal and St Laurent. Breakfast was strictly do it yourself: bagels, cream cheese and orange juice provided. There was a bathtub which was important to me and which I enjoyed. An air conditioner and fan kept the room cool.

• Reviewer: Céline

  Comments: Jen et son mari ont une maison très charmante et colorée qu'ils vous laissent avec les autres hôtes. Notre chambre était côté rue mais pas bruyante la nuit. Une bonne adresse bien située pour visiter Montréal !

• Reviewer: Stéphanie

  Comments: Logement bien situé avec le métro au pied de l'immeuble , ou bien on peut rejoindre le centre ville a pied en 25 min. Belle appartement coloré et propre.

• Reviewer: Ken

  Comments: I felt well attended to, the only down was the front room close to St Denis was so noisy until at least midnight.

• Reviewer: Scott

  Comments: We had to wait 15 minutes to meet Jen for the check-in. However, she was supremely flexible in the first place, allowing me to set the check-in time and only a day prior to arrival. The floors squeak quite a lot as do the doors, at least to our room "The Plateau." Its all pretty great after that though. The room had a working fan AND an air-condition window unit. The windows are huge and easy to open, good drapes to boot, They were easy to snap open and close. Easy access to a vegan AND raw food restaurant, 15min walk. Fully stocked kitchen with tea, fruit, bagels; great bathrooms. Really would stay here again. Thank you for the effort Jen!

• Reviewer: Gary

  Comments: I enjoyed my stay at Jen's place. Her place is clean, and is located at a convenient place near a metro station. Jen was also very helpful and accomodating - prior to me arriving, she helped to provide very clear instructions on getting to her place from the airport. And on the day I left, since I had a late flight, she allowed me to lock my bags away in a spare room so that I could still explore around during the day, which I very much appreciated!

• Reviewer: Matthew

  Comments: Nice place, great location!

• Reviewer: Jean-Christophe

  Comments: Bon emplacement pour cette petite maison sur deux étages, décoration originale type un peu bohème. Acceuil par Jesse, le compagnon de Jen. Sympathique et cool. Je ne suis resté qu'une nuit. Jesse m'a gentiment proposé de rester le lendemain jusqu'à 14h exceptionnellement, car j'avais passé la nuit à être malade. Attention que j'ai beaucoup apprécié.

• Reviewer: Becky

  Comments: Jen's place was perfectly located. Clean, bright and comfortable, I highly recommend this location for anyone travelling through Montreal. Jen was also very accommodating with late arrivals and late check-out time which my travel plans included. two thumbs up!

• Reviewer: Sara

  Comments: Jen saved my behind & my kid's! We made a last minute decision to go to Montreal for an event. While there, I sent various inquiries & while most people responded that they needed more advance notice, Jen responded that her place was ready & available! (There are various rooms that are rented.) And the location in Plateau area is fabulous! If you are not looking for the Hilton, then this place is quite comfortable & convenient. And to boot, Jen provides the material to make your own tea, coffee & bagels for breakfast. That was just an added bonus. We will definitely return on future trips!

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: Comfortable and quiet, we didn't meet Jen but her husband Jesse was very welcoming. Lovely place for a night and very central.

• Reviewer: Shaun

  Comments: Jen was a friendly and helpful host, our accommodation was unique and in a great location. We had a wonderful family day weekend in Montreal.

• Reviewer: Eric

  Comments: Jen was great at accommodating my partner and I at the last minute, which was a relief! The place was very colorful and has fun items, like guitars and a ukulele. It was very nice having a kitchen where we could cook. The place is in a great location in Montreal - close to Mt. Royal and directly on a busy street with tons of nice places to eat and yoga studios, etc. The bus station is a 1 minute walk, too! Our only complaint was that the place did not appear to be cleaned very well - if you like things to be really nice and clean, you probably would not want to stay here. The place was well loved, but not in a cleaning sort of way.

• Reviewer: Yaosen

  Comments: Great price for an bed in a great location. The plateau neighbourhood is awesome. If I'm nitpicking, the pillows are flat. The bagels were great, and the apartment had a lot of character.

• Reviewer: Jesse

  Comments: Thank you Jen! This was the perfect accommodation for my night in Montréal

• Reviewer: Simon

  Comments: We had a really nice stay at Jen's place. This colorfull house is comfortable and perfectly located! Jen is sympathical and really arranging. We clearly recomend it!

• Reviewer: Maelenn

  Comments: Jen's house is nice and colorfull, and very well situated to visit Montreal; I would really recommand it !

• Reviewer: Jason

  Comments: We spent four days here and everything was great. It's a beautiful old apartment with several bedrooms and a spacious common area downstairs, with a kitchen and living room. Right on St-Denis, it's quick to get on the metro and you're in a great neighbourhood for walking around. Jen's a great host, friendly, and leaves you to your own devices.

• Reviewer: Cameron

  Comments: Room was clean and tidy. Jen made accommodations without hesitation (thanks for the towels!) Even with a second guest down the hall, the place was quiet and allowed for a lot of privacy. Bagels and coffee in the morning was a nice touch. Will stay there again!

• Reviewer: Joan

  Comments: This was a clean, lovely room in a great bnb. Really close to the metro and the best neighbourhoods. Met a few fun people who were also staying here. Disappointed that I didn't make time to get a massage from Jen, the host.

• Reviewer: Romi

  Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at Jen's bnb! The apartment is in a great location, a block from the train station and right near many restaurants and shops. The apartment is very nice and clean, Jen is really helpful and friendly with any questions you might have. We would definitely recommend staying here, it was perfect for our stay in Montreal.

• Reviewer: Carolyn

  Comments: I loved Jen's flat! Very cute and charming. Everywhere you turn there is artwork and adorable knickknacks throughout. The location is great, its very close to the metro and a plethora of restaurants. Jen is a great host, I would absolutely stay there again!

• Reviewer: Francoise

  Comments: I really enjoyed staying at Jen's. The place is very well situated, close to the metro, and the shops and there are very nice bars and restaurants close by.I didn't have much time to see Jen but she was available in case I needed her! I would certainly recommend this address.

• Reviewer: Sean

  Comments: Great place. Very convenient and wonderful overall. Would stay again for sure.

• Reviewer: Bastien

  Comments: Nice place to stay and close to everything you need in Montreal. I would come back!

• Reviewer: Tim

  Comments: Everything was great at Jen's. Jen had some good tips for us about Montreal and was very friendly.

• Reviewer: Simon

  Comments: Great host and apartment in superb location! Jen was very friendly, the apartment was clean and the fruit and bagels for breakfast were a nice extra touch! Thanks so much, I'll be back on my next trip!

• Reviewer: Cassie

  Comments: My friend and I loved staying here. The location is amazing and the vibe is like a cool, eclectic hostel that allows the privacy of your own room. I loved the lending library (with Montreal tour books!) and Jen was nice enough to leave out tea, Fairmount bagels, and fruit for guests. The only downside for me is that I found the mattress uncomfortable. That being said, I am really picky about sleeping surfaces and generally don't sleep well on any kind of futon mattress. My friend slept just fine and had no complaints.

• Reviewer: Alina

  Comments: Jen was an excellent and helpful host! She was very friendly at check-in and offered excellent suggestions for places to eat and things to do around the neighborhood. The location of the Airbnb couldn't have been more perfect, extremely walkable to many restaurants and shops! First time in Montreal, and feel very lucky that friends who had stayed at this location recommended this Airbnb to me. The BIXI bike share system has many docking stations near the Airbnb location, and the Laurier Metro station is just a couple blocks away. The maps and guidebooks in the apartment were great to have as references!

• Reviewer: Elizabeth

  Comments: I would describe this property more as a "hostel with delicious bagels" than a "B&B," but that's perfectly ok. What it does well, it does really well! We had the room pictured in the airbnb profile and it was nice--a good size, and clean. The rest of the building is older, a bit shabby, but definitely clean and more than adequate. There is one bathroom and several other bedrooms that are rented out. Getting bathroom time and hot water were never a problem, even though others were staying. The kitchen and other common areas, including back garden balcony, are nice too. This airbnb stay was a little different in that we didn't interact with the hosts much. We actually never met Jen. Instead, her husband Jesse met us and let us into our room. He was welcoming and showed us around. There was also a handy welcome sheet in the room with wifi info, restaurant suggestions, etc. (The pizza restaurant across the street is great!) The neighborhood is fantastic, and definitely what makes this place such a great deal. It's very close to the metro, restaurants, and a little grocery store. If you like walking vacation, you can definitely walk downtown or to the old city from the location. It was a good place to stay, and I'd recommend it to others.

• Reviewer: Charlotte

  Comments: Our stay at Jen's was fantastic! The B&B was beautiful and very cool, there was awesome art everywhere in the house! Jen was very accommodating and nice! She also gave us great advice on where to check out some cool bars and an awesome vegan restaurant! We were also close to everything :D Thank you Jen for such a great trip... and the bagels!

• Reviewer: Nasrin & Ted

  Comments: The house is located on Rue St. Denis, een busy street with many shops and restaurants. It is also quite close to Laurier metro station. The house itself looked more like a hostel than a house. It is shabby, needs repair and a good cleaning.

• Reviewer: Heribert

  Comments: Easy email-contact to Jen and nice welcoming by Jesse. I liked my room for the 2 nights. With my ear plugs I could sleep quite well despite of the traffic noise. Self-service breakfast is o.k. for me. Other people may need a hint at the airbnb-description. All the best, Heribert (Germany) (Sorry, but my English has got a bit rusty :-)

• Reviewer: Martha

  Comments: We had a lovely trip to Montreal while staying with Jen. The B&B is in a wonderful location - close enough to walk downtown, and surrounded by many, many delicious restaurants and bars. We used bixi to get around and there were several stops closeby. The room was a nice size and the bathroom and kitchen were kept clean during our entire stay.

• Reviewer: Lara

  Comments: Jen was very nice! The location is fantastic and everything true to the description. I stayed for about a week and it was great to have an apartment-y feeling place rather than a hotel, you can really make yourself at home. The living area is really nice with a sun room and living room, great for reading or making coffee and doing some work in the morning. Cleanliness-wise it could be a little better - wasn't horrible but the room could have used a dusting, and the closet was slightly musty smelling. All in all I would recommend it for the location and the bed and breakfast set up - needless to say I ate a lot of bagels!

  Comments: My partner and myself enjoyed staying at Jen's place. She was a good host, she was there and received us warmly when we arrived, giving us plenty of tips from parking to eating out, or visiting places. The location itself is great, in the middle of the Plateau with many small cafes, bakeries and nice restaurants around. It's also walking distance to the Mont Royal. The place it's full of character and despite the room colours didn't look as vibrant as I was expecting from the pictures, it still looks funky and has a nice vibe. My only issue was the noise from the street plus some noises on the first night, as someone was going in and out from the room next door and the door was banging. However I slept perfectly after wearing some ear plugs, plus I know I'm quite sensitive to noises.

  Comments: Jen was great she was super accommodating of any changes that I had. The location is in the heart of the city and right around all of the bars, restaurants, and nightlife activities. It is extremely accessible by train to get quickly and easily around the city.

  Comments: Le point fort de cet appartement est sans aucun doute sa localisation. À deux pas du métro Laurier. À 5 min du croisement St-Denis/Mt-Royal. Il n'y a pas de meilleur endroit pour flâner sur le plateau !

• Reviewer: Loic

  Comments: Jen was very welcoming and helpful. We spend a good time there. The apartment was shared with other travelers. We felt like we were in a youth hostel. The apartment is well equipped and we had all we needed. The breakfast is included, that is a good point. Thanks !

  Comments: Jen is a very good host, taking her time to show you around the place and answering all your questions. The room is spacious and well located at Rue Saint-Denis. Definitely recommended!

• Reviewer: Julien

  Comments: Accueil très chaleureux, Jen vous met tout de suite à l'aise. L'appartement est situé sur le Plateau, près des transports et de divers lieux pour sortir. Je ne suis resté qu'un weekend, mais très bonne expérience à renouveler.

  Comments: Jen was a great host! She was accommodating of my later arrival time and helped me navigate the streets of Montreal to find parking, which isn't that easy. When I first arrived, she gave me a tour of the lodging, which matched what was described on the listing page, and even had a laminated quick-tips sheet with house rules and some helpful tips for getting around the city. I would be happy to stay here again.

• Reviewer: Willa

  Comments: Jen was a great host and flexible with our delayed arrival time. Although we didn't meet her, she was quick to answer the phone when we had questions. The apartment was comfortable and welcoming. The breakfast a really nice touch. I will definately stay here again and recommend it to others who want to be in a great location and a funky clean apartment.

  Comments: It was a pleasure to stay at Jen's place. She was really helpful and the room was lovely. The house's location was also excellent. 100% recommended.

• Reviewer: Martha

  Comments: Fantastic position, close to the station and all amenities. Although the house was lovely, it needed a clean, nothing major just a bit dusty and the bins weren't emptied during our stay. Check in was easy, and Jen was very flexible with our late and changing check in time.

  Comments: Jen's place was funky, clean and well located. A great spot to stay in Montreal!

• Reviewer: Tammy

  Comments: Excellent place to stay in Montreal. It is very convenient and close to the metro station to bus station. And also, it is a safe place to stay even thought you come back at midnight from metro. The host is very nice and considerate. I will choose this place when I visit Montreal again.

  Comments: Jen's B&B was a lovely place to stay! It's in a great location, easy to walk through the Plateau and Mile-End neighbourhoods, and was clean and comfortable.

• Reviewer: Brittany

  Comments: Dave and I both loved staying at Jen's bed and breakfast. It was exactly what we were looking for. It was so charming and colorful. It was nice having access to the bagels and tea. Jen and her husband were very helpful with finding parking when we arrived so that we could avoid getting parking tickets. The bed and breakfast was located in a great area - it's an easy walk to plenty of great restaurants and Mont Royal. We walked almost everywhere, but there was a metro stop very close. We would definitely stay here again!

• Reviewer: Kirsten

  Comments: Jen's place is in a great location, very close to public transport, great restaurants and shopping. The house has a lot of character and charm, I recommend sitting on the back balcony with a cup of tea in the afternoon! Our room was a little dusty, but apart from that the place was generally pretty clean and as described in the listing.

• Reviewer: Chantal

  Comments: Excellent location, great price! Classic old style Montreal apartment, creaking hinges and all. Very laid back, only one other couple staying that weekend. Had the kitchen and back balcony to ourselves when we were there. Food, Bixi Bike rental, Bistro's, depaneurs... all within a block or two. Great if your just looking for a taste of city living.

• Reviewer: Stephanie

  Comments: Jen's place was easy to get to from the Metro, and she was there to greet us when we arrived. She was very friendly and gave us several recommendations for restaurants/pubs in the area. The place itself was funky and quaint. It's definitely an older apartment, but for the price and the location, it's worth it. As a bonus, Jen kept local bagels stocked in the kitchen for breakfast!

• Reviewer: Yeji

  Comments: She was going out of town the day we arrived, but she was still able to show us around the apartment. The description of the place is accurate, no frills. The neighborhood is THE BEST part about this place. The only thing that caught us by surprise is that the toilet and the rest of the bathroom are in two different rooms. So at one point I wasn't able to use the bathroom to wash my hands after using the toilet because someone was in there...but that only happened once. And one thing that was slightly irksome for me personally was one of the pillows that had little support, but I'm also used to thick, fluffy pillows, sometimes stacking one top of the other; so take this part of the review in with a grain of salt. We were really looking to just crash for the night and take in Montreal as much as we can, so we weren't in the house very much. It was very low-key and enjoyable.

  Comments: After travelling the world and staying in hostels, the warm thoughtful reception at Jens place was a breathe of fresh air. So obvious that she's an experienced host who is used to dealing with travellers and their needs. Caring thoughtful host with a well kept room in a fun funky neighborhood with rock bottom prices......what more could i ask for?

• Reviewer: Stephanie

  Comments: 10/10 would recommend! Great place, plenty of character and artsy feel as well as space (rare to find in the plateau), the pictures didn't do the room justice as it was bigger than expected. The location is just amazing being so close to the metro, as well as the plateau being such desirable place to live. Also, the A/C was a godsend on the couple days where it got really hot! There was an issue with the tub at one point but it was fixed very quickly. There were a couple other girls renting separate rooms and we all got along and I even ended up making close friends with one! Jen was just great, she made sure we were comfortable, let us know all the spots nearby, came by to clean and was quick to respond, super accommodating.
