Neighborhood Overview: As for the area, you'll be spoiled as you'll find everything in walking distance, like: - for the morning's best bloody bakery ever "Kouign-Amann", a french bretonne style bakery with croissants and chocolatines to die for plus loads of other delicious pastries (1 min) - The toughest competition of coffee shops in whole Montreal among them "Khawa Cafe" with great coffee and amazing Couscous for lunch, "Le Couteau" where coffee is art or the super friendly window in the Wall "la distributrice" - for healthy lunches and Lunch packs for the road there is nothing better than "trip de bouffe" -for the whole dose of Montreal we have "La Banquise" and "Schwart'z" each 10 min by foot from our house -the beautiful Mont Royal Park with its iconic hill and great view over the whole city just 10 min from our doorstep if you want to feel out of town while you're actually right in the middle of it -"JR Cyclery" is renting quality bikes for unbeatable 15 $ for 4 hours or 24 $ for 24 hours, Other

Notes: Last but not least about me... I am a German Chef and I love my profession because it lets me combine my passion for food with my passion for travel and meeting new people. I love to discover new country's and like to let my mind be broadened by new people, new cultures and new food! As already mentioned I really believe in the Values of Airbnb and the sharing economy. For this reason it is very important to me that people don't take my place simply as a cheap replacement for a hotel. People who stay with me are usually having a great time, not only cause the room is nicely decorated or the place is so central but because they find a personal note that they wouldn't find in a hotel. However this only works if people are open minded and don't take things for granted. For this Reason I will simply refuse any requests which carry no personal message or people who think they are dealing with representative of Hotels. ;) I can't wait to meet you and to share some stories and laughs! See yo

Transit: Im on "Avenue Mont Royal" and "St Denis Street" 3 min off "Mont-Royal" Metro Station letting my area score 93 out of 100 points which makes my place a "Walkers Paradise" (check their site) So basicly you can do everything on foot from here and if ever you need it, the Metro is just 3 min down the street to jump on and there are a array of Bus stops to get you anywhere you desire in the quickest way.

Access: The Bathroom, which you'll be sharing with me, comes fully equipped with Hair dryer, fresh towels and usually some soap and shampoo. My Kitchen replaces the Living Room, meaning it is here where all the social life takes place. In the Kitchen you will find a Nespresso machine and a milk frother for your Coffees in the morning! You'll have your own shelf in the fridge and the kitchen as well is free to your use. (just don't forget to wash up ;) ) Be assured that in the apartment you will find all basic appliances like wifi, washer. *Booking for 30 nights minimum*

Interaction: I live in the apartment with my girlfriend and our beautiful cat. I have a pretty busy life, professionally and private, so usually you should have the place to yourself on most times of the day. However it is important to me to make myself available for my guests and I will always be very happy to advise you on how to hit the city according to your preferences ( also check out my guidebook on the bottom of the page). You also wouldn't be the first of my guests to be sharing laughs and good stories about travels, music and whatnot over a refreshing drink. ;)

House Rules: -There aren't many rules you have to follow in our place, follow your common sense, act not much different as if you would stay with a friend... -Be clean, be respectful! -Wash your dishes please! -I am happy to let you use the amenities in the house, please just ask for permission beforehand. -We are not a Hotel but people who seek good company from all over the world! Keep that in mind ;)

  • Reviewer: Marina

    Comments: I was their first guest and I had a great time. Collin and Sandy are very welcoming and happy to help you to get around the city. The room is more than what you need. The bed is big enough for two persons and you have space in the room to put all your luggage. Even although they say the room is in progress I think it is more than what you need for a few days. The apartment is very clean and they allow you to use the kitchen to cook. They both speak English and French,Collin is German and Sandy is really good in Spanish so the language should not be a problem. The location is great, so overall it is a great place to spend a few days getting around Montreal

  • Reviewer: Leslie

    Comments: My daughter and I had two great nights with Collin and Sandy. Their apartment is immaculate, bright and a perfectly located. So close to the subway and plenty of shops and parks right in the neighbourhood. The best part, though, was morning deliciousness at Kouing Amman. Sandy and Collin were very good hosts. Welcome to Canada!

  • Reviewer: Anna Lena

    Comments: Me and my brother went to Montreal for three nights and stayed with Sandy and Collin and we enyojed out stay a lot! Their apartment is perfectly located, clean, beautiful, bright and cozy. Also, they are very nice hosts, easy to be with, friendly and helpful and even offered to take us with them for their sunday trip. Thanks to our hosts! I highly recommend it!

  • Reviewer: Teann

    Comments: My friend and I had a wonderful stay with Colin and Sandy. They were extremely nice and welcoming. We felt very comfortable. The bedroom was bright and quite spacious. The bed was comfortable too. Location was amazing! The metro was maybe a 5 minute walk. The main street was just around the corner to the apartment. We would most definitely stay here again! Thanks again Colin and Sandy!

  • Reviewer: Mustafa

    Comments: Collin and Sandy are the perfect hosts! I can't stress enough how perfect the location really is. The place is clean, tidy, and comfortable. Above all — it's refreshing meeting smart, like-minded folks :) would love to stay at Collin & Sandy's next time I visit Montreal.

  • Reviewer: Welcome

    Comments: A pleasure to discover Montreal in those conditions. Welcoming hosts, very pleasant apartment, very well maintained/ clean and great location. The disposition of the room is top, allowing to keep our privacy. Easy to communicate with Sandy and Collin. They reply quickly to any of your emails/ questions, they make you feel comfortable. An enjoyable experience in their apartment, even in a cold winter! Thank you.

  • Reviewer: Marie

    Comments: I had a great first experience of montreal thanks to Collin and Sandy. I booked the room last minute and they were very understanding. Their apartment is really cute, big, cosy and the room is super comfortable. They live in a great lively neighborhood, close to a convenient train station and tons of cool bars, restaurants, shops and cafés. They provide plenty of good advices and make you feel at home right away. If you're looking for an easy affordable and comfortable stay, look no more. This is the spot.

    Comments: Colin and Sandy's apartment was an absolutely perfect place for my boyfriend and I to spend a week in Montreal. The location could not be better-we were able to easily access everywhere we wanted to go. Most things were in walking distance. Colin and Sandy were great hosts as well, making us feel comfortable and welcome in there home, and giving us great advice on places to go to in the city. Thanks Colin and Sandy!

  • Reviewer: James

    Comments: Really enjoyable weekend in Montreal. The apartment is in a fantastic location- on the doorstep of several good restaurants/ Mont Royal. Colin & Sandy were very friendly and gave some great restaurant/ brunch suggestions. Would definitely recommend to others.

  • Reviewer: Arthur

    Comments: L'appartement est confortable, de même que la chambre. Hôte agréable et disponible.

  • Reviewer: Julie

    Comments: Nous avons séjourné chez Colin et Sandy fin avril et nous avons passé un super moment. Nous n'avons eu l'occasion de rencontrer que Colin car Sandy était en voyage. Colin est une personne ouverte, accueillante, gentille (et bricoleur ;) ) et avec qui il est très sympathique de discuter et passer du temps. L'appartement est très bien situé, joliment décoré, et la chambre très agréable. Métro, parc Montroyal, petits restaurants, magasins et super boulangerie !! à proximité. Nous recommandons vivement un séjour chez eux et nous reviendrons sans hésiter.

  • Reviewer: Helene

    Comments: We had a great stay in Montreal and at Colin & Sandy's place. The flat is well located, close to Subway and Bixi stations, and also to market places. We were also good welcome by Colin, and we felt like home for the 5 days we spent at his place.

  • Reviewer: Stephane

    Comments: Nous avons séjourné trois nuits chez Colin et Sandy, ce sont des hôtes très sympathiques, ils nous ont donné de nombreux conseils pour la visite de Montréal. Notre séjour à été parfait, nous les remercions encore pour leur accueil.

  • Reviewer: Bengi

    Comments: The apartment is very conveniently located, just steps from the metro station and right in the center of the Plateau district. The place is very cute and clean. Sandy & Colin are very helpful and friendly but also great about respecting their guests' personal space.

  • Reviewer: Alissa

    Comments: Colin and Sandy's place was clean and had everything we needed. The location was incredibly convenient. There are a lot of great places to eat within steps of the apartment and they are about a 15 minute walk of two great parks. The metro station was really close, as well.

  • Reviewer: Laura

    Comments: The place was just as described. Great location. Very good communication. Helpful restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed our stay very much.

  • Reviewer: Vinicius

    Comments: Even though Colin & Sandy had different schedules than mine, they were super nice! The bedroom is really good and the neighborhood is the best. I couldn't think of a better place to stay, couple of blocks from the Mont-Royal Metro station, a block away from Bixi stations, really good restaurants and amazing croissants at Au Kouign-Amann.

  • Reviewer: Elodie

    Comments: Sandy and Collin's flat is located in central Montréal, few hundred meters away from station Mont Royal. The block is nice, a park is not far away as well as supermarket. Flat description matches with pictures on airbnb, it is just bright, clean and cool. Great places to get a beer or to eat will be adviced by Collin who has maybe thousands of good addresses for food (thanks again for Trip de Bouffe !). We travelled with our little 14 months boy who faced jetlag and woke up every day at 5 AM. Nevertheless, Sandy and Collin remained very patient and we are very grateful for that. To sum up: a good place to stay to visit Montréal.

  • Reviewer: Joseph

    Comments: A perfect spot to launch our Montreal exploration! We parked the car at the neighboring pay lot, and didn't drive during our entire stay. Colin is a very nice, quiet & accommodating host. The room was lovely, a little warm on a couple of the hot nights, but otherwise very comfortable. The neighborhood is very active, but the apartment is nicely located down a quiet side street. Note the apartment is on the second floor, which might be an issue for those with disabilities. We look forward to returning!

  • Reviewer: Julie

    Comments: Colin a été un super hôte: il nous attendait à notre arrivée, nous a fait visiter l'appartement et nous avait préparé des guides pour notre séjour à Montréal. L'appartement de Colin est situé dans un quartier au top, le plateau. A quelques minutes à pieds du Mont Réal et de la station de métro Mont Réal. Quartier branché et dynamique: restaurants, bars, boutiques...

  • Reviewer: Martin

    Comments: This place is in an absolutely great location, and is a bright, airy room. Colin was great, although we kept different schedules and rarely saw each other. The room was clean and simple.

  • Reviewer: Aaron

    Comments: Colin was very accommodating and responsive to our day-of request (we were on a long road trip, had a last minute change of plans, and ended up in Montreal). After driving 13 hours we got in way late and arrived finding the room exactly as pictured, and everything fresh, tidy and clean. We awoke to find ourselves in the heart of Montreal, a half block to Mont Royal and a short walk to this lovely park. We just stayed the day and another night, and didn't even really get a chance to meet Colin, but it was a perfect place for our short stay. The brochures and maps of Montreal in our bedroom was a nice touch!

  • Reviewer: Luis (Lui355)

    Comments: The Collin Experience…. That’s how I describe my trip to Montreal. Collin made my friend and I feel like we were visiting a friend rather than staying with a stranger. He was very warm, welcoming and accommodating. The listing was more than described the view from the terrace made for a perfect place to just relax with a couple of the local IPAs from the area. The backyard has a quant little seating area where you can enjoy a private conversation in the morning with a cup of Espresso. Collin directed us in all the right directions for AMAZING food and places off the touristy path. Best trip to Montreal I’ve had and I think it will be returning once a year around the time same :) Thanks Collin for making me and my friend feel right at home in a new place.

  • Reviewer: Christian

    Comments: It was my first experience with airbnb and it was a great one. Sandy (who I met briefly) and Collin were very welcoming, and I felt like at some friend's place. Their appartment is no more no less as displayed on the pictures. While the flat is very close to a lively avenue, I can confirm what i had read in a previous comment (I think ?) : it's very livable. You don't hear much noise. so the location is great too, in addition of being convenient for public transportation. You can really have confidence in Collin's advices for places to eat : He knows ! The French bakery he would recommend you has delicious croissants (and the compliment comes from a Frenchman). Also I had my best dinner in Canada (meal and wines from Québec) in a bistro he suggested to me, at the corner, 100m from their place. to conclude, I was very satisfied with my 4-day stay at their place.

  • Reviewer: Julia

    Comments: Colin's place is awesome and the neighborhood fantastic. He's a cool guy and we had fun staying at his place. I can definitely recommend him as a perfect host.

  • Reviewer: Agate

    Comments: The location is AMAZING! Not only because there's the best boulangerie in town but also because you are right in the heart of the Plateau, in the middle between the Mile End and Center/Vieux Montreal Neighborhoods. Colin was so nice, wanting to connect with us and get our feedback about the city and giving us some good tips. We felt like we were staying at a friend's house. He really makes you feel comfortable to you stay at his home.

  • Reviewer: Jan

    Comments: I stayed at Collin's place for over two weeks during Quebec's glorious fall season, while on a sabbatical visit at Concordia University, and much enjoyed it - it's spacious and functional and in a very vibrant area full of quirky eateries, cafes and shops, and within walking distance of Mont Royal where i did some wonderful hikes amidst the turning foliage. Considering the night life in the neighbourhood, it's not a completely tranquil place - the bedroom faces a small residential street near the corner of one of the main drags (Avenue Mont-Royal) but you can still get a good night's rest if you're not hypersensitive to occasional outdoor acoustics. Both Collin and i had busy schedules, so we didn't coincide on a daily basis, but one night we shared a fantastic meal whose ingredients had been grown organically on urban rooftops in Montreal. Highly delicious + recommended!

  • Reviewer: Jon

    Comments: Our host was very helpful and he answered my queries promptly. We only met once and he was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The room we had was as described and very clean as was the bathroom. The apartment was a bit smaller than we had hoped but we made do as we weren't there very much ourselves. The location is the most attractive feature being only 1 block from several main streets with loads of restaurants, bars and entertainment.

  • Reviewer: Didier

    Comments: Colin est un hôte fort sympathique, ses conseils nous ont été utiles pour visiter MONTRÉAL en 3 jours et pour apprécier les bonnes tables. La rue est calme, néanmoins proche d’un quartier animé, restaurants, bars, boutiques (dont la meilleure pâtisserie du pays) et proche de la station de métro Mont Royal. On se sent comme à la maison, l’équipement est complet, le café pour le petit déjeuner est prévu . Chambre agréable, le parquet craque, c’est un peu gênant pour les déplacements nocturnes dans l’appartement mais il parait que c’est de coutume à Montréal. Notre séjour à été parfait, nous le remercions encore pour son accueil. Didier, Françoise, Valentin, Camille

  • Reviewer: Clementine

    Comments: L'appartement est idéalement situé, au cœur du Plateau Mont Royal et tout près de la station de métro. Il est spacieux, lumineux et bien équipé. Colin et Mélissandre sont des hôtes chaleureux et très accueillants. J'ai passé un excellent séjour et j'y reviendrai assurément !

  • Reviewer: Louis

    Comments: Nous avons eu un problème lors de la réservation et Collin a été très compréhensif et nous a donné des solutions qui nous ont satisfaites. L'appartement est très bien localisé, à quelque pas de Av mont-royal! Stationnement pour 10$ la nuit à 2 min de l'appartement. Nous avons adoré notre séjours à MTL. Merci pour tout. Louis

  • Reviewer: Matthew

    Comments: My stay with Collin was very pleasant - he was home to greet me upon my arrival to the flat (which is beautiful) and was very accommodating when a third joined our party on short notice. The room was clean, comfortable, and warm - I would definitely stay here again in the future!

  • Reviewer: Leila

    Comments: Colin was an amazing, friendly host! He really did the best to make me feel welcome in Montreal, and truly embodies what AirBnB is about—meeting cool, friendly people from all around the world. :) Be sure to check out the recommendations for food and drink in his guidebook as well, all of which were delicious and very reasonably priced. The room was just as pictured, and very bright and nice during the day. The location is also wonderful. The apartment is right in the centre of Le Plateau, and only a couple of minutes away from the nearest subway station.

  • Reviewer: Miikka

    Comments: Colin was a great host and we really felt welcomed to stay at his place. The appartment and the neighbourhood are lovely. There are plenty of small cafes and reasonable priced restaurants near Colin's place. We stayed only couple of days during a weekend but a good location made it easy to see all the places we had planned to see.

  • Reviewer: Carole

    Comments: Colin est un hôte très attentioné. Il a pris soin de s'assurer que mon séjour se passait bien. il prend également plaisir à échanger avec ses visteurs autour d'un repas. La literie était propre et les lieux communs également. La localisation est parfaite, à 3 min à pied du métro Mont-Royal.

  • Reviewer: Justin

    Comments: The apartment was clean and Collin provided towels, guide books/maps and our own shelf in the refrigerator. We hardly used the fridge space cause we were out and about the whole trip. For that same reason, we didn't talk to Collin much although he seemed like a great guy and gentleman. Reach for the stars! Thanks Collin our experience was excellent!

  • Reviewer: Cyril

    Comments: Collin et sa copine ont été très accueillant et agréable. L'appartement est très sympathique avec une décoration agréable et des aménagements prévus pour les visiteurs très pratiques. Idéalement placé, juste à côté d'une grande avenue avec beaucoup de commerces et à 3 min à pied du métro. Nous ne sommes pas resté longtemps à Montréal mais nous avons grandement apprécié notre séjour.

  • Reviewer: François-René

    Comments: The apartment is very well located. It is right at the center of the vibrant Plateau Mont-Royal. It is well kept and clean. Although we did not see much Colin during our two nights stay, he was always responsive to our questions and our arrival went very well.

  • Reviewer: Sam

    Comments: The location is just perfect. Take a couple steps out of Colin's apt and you will find yourself in the best, happening, fun neighborhood of Montreal. Endless brunch spots, bars, used book stores, people watching. But... that's not everything. You've got to chat with this guy! He's awesome, easy going, and he will make you feel at home. I wish I was staying longer so we could hang out more. I will definitely visit again!!

  • Reviewer: Vicki

    Comments: We had an amazing time staying at Collin's apartment. The location can't be beat, it's a clean spacious place and he was very hospitable. His guide for the neighborhood was amazing too, it made our couple of days so easy, everything he suggested was fantastic.

La chambre est comme décrite, et l'appartement est typique de Montreal dans un des quartier les plus branchés !! Merci pour tout !!

    Comments: Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in Collin's Wohnung (die wirklich perfekt im Ausgeh- und Szeneviertel liegt) und er hat uns viele gute Tipps zum Einkaufen und zu Restaurants in Montreal gegeben. Vielen Dank!

  • Reviewer: Nishanth

    Comments: The place was great, and it was close to some really sweet bars and restaurants. Colin was really helpful providing us with excellent places to eat and go out. We didn't have much of a plan coming to Montreal and he was quick to fill us with ideas! His place is cozy so it can feel a little cramped with more than 3 people. The only area to hangout is the kitchen or the bedroom but if you plan on just using the apartment as a place to crash then its great! Overall Colin made the experience very nice and I recommend others booking their stay here as long as they are cat friendly!

  • Reviewer: Lukas

    Comments: Thanks to Collin's advices the trip to Montreal was amazing. His appartement is right next to some bars and restaurants, so you can go everywhere by foot. I would definitely go there again! Thank you again for hosting!

  • Reviewer: Fabio

    Comments: I've had a great time at Colin's apartment. The place is close to so many restaurants, bars and 24/h quick markets, so you basically can do everything by foot, also, there's a subway station a few blocks away from it, so it's easy to get there and move around town. The bedroom is exactly the way pictured. Also, Colin's girlfriend was very friendly and welcoming and she gave me precious tips on where to go eat and have some fun around Montreal! I recommend staying there! :)

    Comments: Colin and Melissandre were very kind guests. The arrival process was extremely easy, even though I got there when they weren't home. They were both super welcoming and able to chat restaurant recommendations as well as tour guide tips. They are fun if you like video games, Netflix or comic books and I feel anyone would feel at home in their place.

    Comments: My friends and I visited Montreal for a weekend and stayed at Colin's apartment. We arrived slightly early and he was very accommodating and kind to us. Though there may be a larger age gap between us, Colin is young at heart and knows how to have a good time. He made some nice recommendations for bars that my friends and I visited. He also has a cat and we would have played with her all day! If you're privileged to have the room pictured on the listing, you will have the pleasure of being able to play with her every time you open your door :). The apartment was as beautiful as expected, and I couldn't have enjoyed it any more.

Colín y Melissandre excelentes anfitriones, nos dieron excelentes consejos de buenos lugares para comer, nos guiaron sobre la red del Metro y sobre todo de los mejores lugares para la compra de ropa de invierno! El departamento está Muy bien ubicado, el barrio tranquilo y seguro, el Metro se encuentra a unas cuantas cuadras del departamento así como el autobús, su ubicación es muy accesible. Muy recomendable la guía que hizo Colín para conocer los mejores lugares!

    Comments: I really appreciate Mel and Colin's openness with me. The food and kitchen were lovely and delicious. Their apartment's location was awesome, surrounding by the best bakery, cheese cakes and other cuisine. They are truly open minded and brilliant people who know how to enjoy life. Definitely recommended! You will gain more than just one tour. I thought I dislike Montreal but then I'm loving it. :D

    Comments: A big thank you to Colin and Melissandre. They are perfect hosts ! The appartement is super well located, very near from Mont Royal and the mile end district. The room is also very nice : super lighty, lovely decorated, calm. Bref, I feel very good at their place :-) Totally recommended :-)

  • Reviewer: Randall

    Comments: Awesome location. Hosts were ready and willing to help with any advice. As is typical in Canada, there's no a/c but hosts were ready with fan. I would stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Jan

    Comments: Si vous êtes accueillis par Colin, chance vous sera offerte de rencontrer un couple très sympathique et ouvert à l'échange. La chambre est telle que le suggère la photographie proposée, agréable et confortable. L'emplacement est idoine pour vivre le dynamisme d'une ville de Montréal où il fait bon vivre. Situés à quelques minutes à pieds de la station "Mont-Royal", elle-même positionnée à une station de "Berri-UQAM", centre synergique de la ville, vous serez à même de rapidement vous déplacer. En finalité, le logement comme la ville, devrait vous ravir.

    Comments: I had an excellent stay in this flat: a cosy room, clean, fast WIFI and everything else that you need when travelling. Last but not least: the neighbourhood offers cool coffeshops, restaurants, metro and a beautiful area for running (Montroyal is close).

  • Reviewer: Victor

    Comments: Colin's place was fantastic, he and Mel were great hosts, super polite and fun to talk to, had great tips on where to go and how to navigate. Place was accesible and clean, the apartment is in a great location, lots of cool places on a walkable distance, and only 15 minutes by tube to Montreal's downtown. 100% would recommend.

  • Reviewer: Caroline

    Comments: Très bon séjour chez Colin et Mélissandre ! Très bel appartement et très propre ! Proche de toutes commodités à Montréal, très bon emplacement. Merci pour tout !!

  • Reviewer: Erica

    Comments: This place was amazing. Hosts were friends and full of advice and information. The guidebook Colin provided was absolutely perfect, it helped us decide on all our meals. The location as prime, walking distance to the metro and right in the heart of downtown. A person really doesn't need a car.

  • Reviewer: Cori

    Comments: As a "virgin" Airbnb-er this trip and experience has made me a believer in the whole process! Colin and Mel were beyond amazing and accommodating. I felt like I was staying with friends rather than strangers. They are both beyond friendly and helpful in making your way around the city :) The flat is in a beautiful area of the city, surrounded by cafes and boutiques. All the rest of the hustle and bustle is within walking distance or biking distance, as I opted for. There is a bixi bike stand just around the corner from Colin's place and this made it super convenient to come and go. The room and bathroom were clean!! This was a huge test for me...and I was grateful for the cleanliness factor. The apartment was hot while I was there (outside temp of +37 with the humidity) but there is a fan in the room which allowed me to sleep well at night. I suggest ear plugs if you are a light sleeper, I go everywhere with mine, but I know I would have struggled with the outdoor traffic and creeky floors if I didn't have them :) I couldn't have asked for a better experience, thanks you guys!

  • Reviewer: Martin

    Comments: It was a great experience to stay with Colin and Mel. Everything went smoothly and everything was very relaxed. Colin and Mel were always very friendly and helpful, though unfortunately I did not have the chance to get to know them properly, since I was always busy myself and spend most of the time outside the apartment. Furthermore, I have to point out that the location of the apartment is very nice. The next Metro station is less than 5 minutes walking distance and you can reach virtually any place in the city within less than 30 minutes. I would recommend this place to anyone, who wants to stay in Montreal.

  • Reviewer: Cindy

    Comments: Colin and Mel were excellent hosts and the this place was a really great value! The location is perfect and close to many shops and eateries as well as centrally located for many Montreal attractions. The flat is exactly how it is described in the post and their cat, Chipie is adorable and very friendly. When we arrived, Colin drew us a map of some great local spots to check out in the area and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend staying here.

  • Reviewer: Lena

    Comments: The stay at Colon's apartment was wonderful. He was always very quick to answer my questions and provided all the info that we need for our arrival. We stayed there for 3 nights and felt very comfortable there. The place itself is beautiful, lots of light and very nicely decorated. The bed was very comfy and the room more than big enough for two. The bathroom was very big and with a window. The apartment's location is great. Just off Mont Royal with lots of places to eat and shop and the metro is just a few blocks down. Colin and his girlfriend were extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. They provided us with an extra duvet on very short notice and even though we didn't see them a lot due to their busy schedule they were always open to a little chat and asked how our day way and if there was anything we needed. This place is really awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone who visits Montreal.

    Comments: Amazing location, friendly hosts, cute kitty :)

  • Reviewer: Haley

    Comments: Colin and Mel were very nice. They were great at offering suggestions for things to do and places to eat/drink, and really friendly people! The apartment was clean, comfortable and in a great neighborhood that Colin accurately described as the "Brooklyn of Montreal." Lots of great food and drinks and close to the Metro for a quick trip to other neighborhoods. I would definitely stay here again!

  • Reviewer: Dyanna

    Comments: Colin, Mel and their sweet cat Chipie (probably didn't spell that right) were great hosts, very friendly and hospitable. The flat is exactly as described "The Heart of Le Plateau". It is within steps of cafes and restaurants and a few blocks from the Metro, making it extremely easy to get around Montreal. The neighborhood is awesome and I felt safe at all times. I would definitely recommend staying with this awesome couple.

  • Reviewer: Francis

    Comments: My dad and I had a great stay at Colin and Mel's place. The appartment is bright and welcoming, and the room is more than big enough! The apartment itself is ideally located in a lively neighbourhood and only a couple blocks from the subway. Getting to and from the Grand Prix couldn't have been easier. Communication with Colin and Mel was great, though we only saw Colin briefly on our first night. They have also created a really helpful guide of the area on Airbnb, which you should definitely consult. Would recommend!

  • Reviewer: Priya

  • Reviewer: Lilly

    Comments: We stayed here for 4 nights and we really enjoyed it! Cozy, bright room. Great fan in the room. Very homey. 2 blocks from a metro stop that takes you directly to old Montreal. 15 minute walk to Mt. Royal and Le Plateau. PERFECT location. Tons of yummy restaurants and coffee within blocks. Very kind and friendly hosts, extremely gracious. And Chipie is the best cat ever! So fluffy and friendly and loved to be pet :)

    Comments: My stay at Collin and Mels apartment was more than great. They were always very nice to me and we’re always there to help or to just have a pleasant conversation. I felt very comfortable living there and it is perfectly located especially to get the real plateau vibe but also to move quickly to other places in the city. I will definitely come back and I can only recommend this place to others.

    Comments: Collin and Mel's place is located close to a lot of great food spots and cute stores in the Mont Royal neighborhood. They were very quick to respond to my questions and they're very friendly! Their space is a short walk from the Mont Royal metro station, making it easy to get places in Montreal. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay (wish it was longer)!

  • Reviewer: Arva

    Comments: This was our first time using airbnb - and Collin and Mel ensured that it will be the first of many! Collin was very prompt with messages even before we booked. When we got in, both him and lovely Mel was there to check us in. They are such warm and wonderful people - they helped us with our bags (even though they didn't have to!), gave us so many incredible local tips (Collin is a chef, both he and Mel love cooking, so these guys know the real deal when it comes to food) and let us use their kitchen to make chai and generously told us we could use their Nespresso coffees and teas. The photos of the room and space on airbnb are accurate - it's nice and cozy, faces a relatively quiet street so you have peace at night, but best of all, it's in a fantastic neighborhood. We loved that it's close to the metro, steps away from one of the best bakeries and excellent restaurants...just a fabulous way to soak Montreal in. This being our first time, my husband was super nervous about "staying in someone's home." But it really felt so much more personal than being in a hotel, especially with their gorgeous "cloud-like" cat Chippie! We walked away making friends, these are people we'd love to spend time with over drinks (and we did!). Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Mel and Collin, you guys made our stay in Montreal super special.

  • Reviewer: Peter

    Comments: Really great location close to lots of shops and restaurants, but the apartment is still quiet so you can get a good rest. Mel was a wonderful host who offered helpful tips for getting around. I recommend staying here if you're looking to experience the best of the hip side of Montreal!

  • Reviewer: Jessica

    Comments: The space is very close to everything, the neighbourhood is fantastic with an incredible bakery little minutes away. Metro is only 5 minutes away so definitely a great location. Collin and Mel were very nice. The only downside is probably just the fact that the walls are very thin. My friend end up feeling really sick from something she had so the walls were thin that the whole apartment could hear that she was unwell. But other than that, the space was incredible and the location was great. A really solid choice for discovering the real Montreal.

    Comments: J'ai passé un très bon séjour chez Collin et Mélissandre! Ce sont des hôtes très accueillants, toujours prêts à vous mettre à l'aise et à partager leur connaissance de Montréal, notamment via des recommandations qui sont très utiles quand on arrive à Montréal sans connaitre la ville! La chambre est très agréable et fidèle à la description. La localisation de l'appartement est vraiment idéale : à deux pas du boul. St Laurent et de la rue St Denis et du métro Mont Royal. Il y a pleins de petits commerces de proximité à côté de l'appartement : supermarché, boulangerie, pharmacie... En définitive, je ne saurais que vous recommander de séjourner chez eux, vous serez très bien accueillis !!
