PLATEAU MONT-ROYAL - Le ZENHOUSE

Reviews

• Reviewer: Claude

  Comments: The apartment is perfectly situated in the hearth of Plateau Mt-Royal : the Mt-Royal metro station, groceries, restaurants are just a few steps away. The host was responsive to our needs, providing a phone so we could make call using our Magic Jack via the internet as no land line is available. We rented for 1 month and Martin was an excellent host.

  Comments: This is a very quaint, comfortable 1-bedroom apartment on the main floor of a typical Montreal row house. It is located in a great area of the city - le Plateau - where you are surrounded by quiet streets for strolling, trendy bars, cafés and restaurants, and unique shopping that Montreal is known for. We drove to Montreal and overnight street parking was readily available, once you figured out the signage and what sections of the street were non-permit. The neighbours were also very helpful to point out when we got it wrong, saving us a potential ticket!! Martin was nice to deal with. Although we didn't get to meet in person, communication with him was easy - phone, text, email and thru AirBNB. Check-in and out was easy, and we felt very safe and secure. The apartment has an alarm system and we were introduced on paper to the upstairs neighbour, who we then met in person over the course of the weekend. The apartment is clean and the beds are comfortable. The bedroom is large (king size bed) and is off the front side of the house, but the street is fairly quiet, so street noise wasn't an issue. There is no central air conditioning, but a fan in the bedroom and portable a/c unit in the living room. We were there on a very hot, sticky weekend, and didn't find the apartment overly hot, nor did we need the a/c. Although well equipped, we didn't do any cooking in the kitchen, apart from making tea. But we did prepare a nice snack of wine, cheese, crackers, meat, grapes… which we enjoyed sitting out on the quiet and sunny back deck area. Having this outside space was very nice. The apartment is also equipped with a washer/dryer - so handy for longer stays. Decent shower/tub with good water pressure - there is no exhaust fan though, so the room does steam up, making it a bit hard to towel dry. The only real quirk for us... the toilet is in a small "closet" at the front of the house - literally just room for the toilet - while the shower/tub/sink is in a separate room at the back of the house. So you have to walk through the dining/living room & kitchen to wash your hands after using the toilet. Looking back at the photos, we can see this now, but it is not obvious and was a bit of a surprise for us. Overall though, we were very happy with the apartment. Great price, great location, great weekend!

  Comments: The place is super cozy. Very clean and spacious. Close to metro station, shared bikes stations, supermarkets and lots of restaurants. Everything you need is within easy reach. The BBQ station is a lot of fun, especially considering the great selection of amazing sausage at the European market on St.Laurent which is just 10 min away by bike. Martin (the host) was very welcoming and helpful. There was a problem with Wi-Fi, he quickly arranged the fix. Great overall experience!

  Comments: Martin est un hôte extra, très accueillant et disponible. On a vécu deux mois exceptionnels dans son appartement, ou l'on s'est tout de suite senti très bien car il s'en dégage une grande sérénité et il est très chaleureux. Il est idéalement situé, en plein cœur du Plateau, tout près du metro, de pleins de beaux parcs et d'une multitude de bons commerces. On a tout particulièrement adoré profiter de la terrasse et du barbecue! Bref, on recommanderait les yeux fermés ce logement à tous nos proches et encore merci a Martin et Sarah de leur accueil!

  Comments: Martin is an amazing host. He is very communicative and available. Check-in was easy and the place is truly a zen house. I used to live in Montreal so new location was best for those wanting to live the local life but his place is truly next to everything. From wonderful brunch place less than 2 blocks away to fresh daily croissant to bars to restaurants to metro.. I can go on. When we arrived, Martin had left us personal notes about the place, with his phone number, map of the city, trash day during the week an other uselful information. We were able to find parking on the street without using parking permits but he had left us parking permits in case we needed them at a very affordable fee. The place was spotless and I felt is bigger than the pictures show. Lots of storage for your clothes as the closets are empty and ready to use. I will come back to this place next time I come back to Montreal for sure. Martin is very friendly and available and his place is wonderful. Some mentioned the toilet is a separate room than shower and sink, its true but didnt bother me. I didnt use the bbq but its a brand new big one, better than the one shown on the pictures. Martin's place is the best place to live the local life while staying in a stress free very quiet place next to absolutely everything. If you're into road noise, construction driving you crazy and high rises, go downtown. If you want true Montreal experience, stay at the zenhouse. Thanks Martin for the wonderful hospitality and great stay!

  Comments: Martins place was perfect for our 4 day stay. The location is superb, we were able to walk out the front door and find great restaurants, cocktail bars and cafes within a 5 min walk. We found we walked everywhere from his place, even to Old Port. The beds were both so comfortable that we fell asleep straight away. The townhouse was clean and beautiful. There is even a private terrace with a BBQ which would be lovely in the summer. The kitchen was well equipped for any type of cooking, that is if you can stop yourself from eating out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his place.

  Comments: My wife and I decided to stay at Martin’s for our third trip back to Montreal. Very well located. Pretty close to main streets, shopping, and cafés. Very spacious for the price. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to someone looking for a spacious, affordable and stylish Airbnb near fun attractions in Montreal.

  Comments: Nous avons passé mon copain et moi une semaine idyllique dans l'appartement de Martin. L'emplacement de l'appartement est idéal, dans le quartier du plateau où nous pouvons tout trouver à proximité, jeune et dynamique avec la station de métro à 500m, à 2 stations de Berry UQAM ( la principale station de métro). L'appartement est décoré avec goût, lumineux, propre et j'en passe.. On se sent comme à la maison ( parfois un peu trop au point de ne plus avoir envie de bouger ). Nous n'avons malheureusement pas eu le plaisir de voir Martin mais celui ci a toujours été très réactif dès que j'avais une question, c'etait parfait. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. Bon voyage à tous.
