  Comments: Very nice host, excellent place! I regard it as a home-like experience. Perfect position in downtown with metro station nearby. I will definitely come back next time i go Montreal.

  Comments: The apartment is just as it appears in the photos. My room was the smaller one, and had a twin bed. The mattress was hard, but quite comfortable, i slept very well. The rooms works for a small person, but could not accommodate two people. Everything was clean and in good shape, almost like a hotel room. The kitchen has a fridge, so you can leave your food there. It is not a room in someone's apartment, it is a room in a rental flat - something to consider. You have a lot of privacy, but don't get to interact with the hosts much. Grace and Irwin are kind and helpful, provided with everything I needed, and waited for me to arrive although it was quite late. They were quick to respond when I was there and whenever I needed anything. I used the washer and dryer - all worked perfectly. The neighborhood is great! The metro is across the street, there is a convenience store in front of the apartment, a supermarket 5 minutes away, plenty of restaurants less than 5 minutes away. Very safe. The arts museum is less than 10 minute walk away. You can walk to a lot of places or take the metro when you are tired. Great location, very convenient.

  Comments: I rented this apartment for one of my IT consultant for about 3 weeks with the intention of him returning a month later for another 2-3 months stay and he loved the place so very much that I had to rebook the same place before he even checked out to make sure that he would get back the same place. He absolutely refused to stay anywhere else. Not only were the accommodations pass satisfactory but Grace, the host, is a doll! She makes sure you're comfortable, warm and the apartment is always clean! Honestly, I can not think of one thing that my consultant complained about, he loved everything, he gave his stay a 10/10. Thank you

  Comments: Grace and Irwin were terrific hosts. I shared a room in an apartment, but the other tenant was quiet and worked long hours, so it worked out. The apartment was newly renovated, clean and tastefully decorated. Grace and Irwin were easy to contact, and their son helped me carry my luggage up the stairs and helped me get settled. All in all, a good downtown condo close to everything you need.

  Comments: Irwin and Grace were kind and helpful. Room was perfect. Location is great (everything is at walking distance from the apt). Great choice for a journey in Montréal.

• Reviewer: Anne-Marie

  Comments: Irwin and Grace were very accommodating and helpful. The apartment was in excellent condition with a private bedroom and bathroom, much like a hotel. I felt as though I was staying in a four-star hotel in downtown Montreal without the expenses! The shared kitchen was beautiful, clean, and well-stocked, and a perfect place to prepare breakfast in the morning.

• Reviewer: Charles

  Comments: Perfect location to explore Montreal from and 100% as described on the site. Everything was brand new. When I need to go back to Montreal I will for sure check if this room is available again.

• Reviewer: Ania

  Comments: I really enjoyed staying with Grace and Irwin - they are very friendly and were very helpful throughout my trip. The condo is very nice - newly decorated, neat and has great location for exploring Montreal. I'd definitely like to come back!

• Reviewer: Melanie

  Comments: I met Grace and Irwin briefly. Clifton their son was kind enough to take my luggage to the 3rd floor where my room was. The kitchen area was nice and clean. My room was small and neat and clean. It was big enough for my short two day stay. The 3rd floor had two separate bedrooms that allowed to share the kitchen area. The neighbor hood was a great location to restaurants, coffee shops, the arts and Jazz Festival. It was a great and safe location. I booked on short notice so it worked out great. Thanks Grace & Irwin! Melanie Guy

  Comments: I had the opportunity to stay at Grace and Irwin's condo; this was the first time I use Airb&b services and I was very pleased. Grace is a wonderful lady, I spend a few minutes with her drinking tea. I did not feel too well with a bad cold and she made sure I had some of her special delicious jasmine tea. Their son is a wonderful young man who also invited me for a cup of tea while Grace and Irwin were out. The place is impeccably clean and comfortable close to the nicest areas of Montreal, on Maisonneuve Rue and St. Catherine Rue just behind the condominium, many many restaurants. Easy access to the metro and walking distance to downtown Montreal. The place is full of life surrounded by young kids from Concordia University, McGill University and Montreal. Overall a wonderful experience.

  Comments: I had arrived a little later than I thought which was a good thing, as the room was not quite ready. However, the room was just as described. It was nice, small and the en-suite bathroom was good enough for 1 person stay. Comfortable! And cool after a day's excursion. Grace was very kind and her son was super helpful - taking all my questions with patience! The area was great within public transport and restaurants. Very nice place and very nice people!

  Comments: ｼﾝﾌﾟﾙ､綺麗､ほぼ文句無し｡本当に綺麗です｡ 文句といえばｱﾒﾆﾃｨがちょっと変だったことくらい｡なぜか歯磨き粉ではなく､ﾏｳｽｳｫｯｼｭで､ｺﾝﾃﾞｨｼｮﾅｰがあるのにｼｬﾝﾌﾟｰがなく､ﾎﾞﾃﾞｨｳｫｯｼｭ?だけ｡立地的には観光目的ではやや不便です(美味しいご飯やとかが北部に多いため)｡ ﾎｽﾄは一瞬しか会いませんでしたが､雨降ってたら傘を貸してくれました｡とてもいい感じで親切そうな方でした｡ ちなみに部屋が2つあり､僕が泊まった部屋は写真と少しだけ違いましたが､特に問題はありませんでした｡英文の説明では分かりづらいですが､小さめのｼｬﾜｰ用のｽﾍﾟｰｽが付いてます｡

  Comments: Grace and Irwin were very great guest. The room was tidy, clean, and ready for my arrival. I would definitely go back! The location was also unbeatable

• Reviewer: Huan

  Comments: Very nice and clean place, and Grace and their son are so kind. They help me handle all the issues.

• Reviewer: Eric

  Comments: I really enjoy my stay at Grace & Irwin's place. Although I never had a chance to meet them, their son Clayton explained and took care of everything for me during my stay. The place looked new, the room was clean, bathroom towels, shampoo/shower gel/toothpaste provided. The location is very very convenient to subway, bus or walk to the main streets. Overall I enjoyed my stay. Thank you.

• Reviewer: Grace

  Comments: Grace and Irwin's condo unit was exactly as described. The pictures shown were accurate and like what the other guests had pointed out the unit was conveniently located. Shopping, sightseeing, eating, and drinking were all within walking distance. If you want to venture out further, have no fear access to public transit is literally diagonally across the street. Do note though, there are 3 flights of stairs and no elevator. Luckily, their son and an older gentleman gladly helped me with my suitcase.

• Reviewer: Thiago

  Comments: Une chambre confortable. Vous avez une intimité totale et vous pouvez utiliser toutes choses dans le cuisine. Grace & Irwin sont gentils et polis. L'appartement est situé à côté de la station de métro et le centre d'un quartier anglophone. Pour moi tout été parfait.

• Reviewer: Yuqing

  Comments: Grace and Irwin's apartment is right next to the Guy metro station - super convenient for getting around. The apt is as described, and very clean and tidy. Grace was very kind and helpful to answer all my questions. Great place for one person short stay!

• Reviewer: Dawood

  Comments: Pleasent experience. The apartment was clean as promised. Excellent location. I recommend it!

• Reviewer: Nan

  Comments: Grace was so welcoming, as was her son who did a great job of helping me to get oriented. The apartment is located half a block from Concordia Univ and the Guy-Concordia metro station. The neighborhood is lively and felt quite safe, with many restaurants, cafes, and a market nearby. The apartment is well-maintained and very clean, and I slept well in the comfy bed. I was really glad that my room had a desk and privacy shades that also let in natural light. There's a nicely updated kitchen & dining table in the common area, which was great for saving money on breakfast. I really felt at home for my week-long visit, and having a convenient place to stay made this a more productive trip for me. Thank you so much!

• Reviewer: Issa

  Comments: Perfect place to enjoy montreal! Very convenient to access public transportation and a lots of stores and restaurants. On top of this very clean and comfortable place. Grace & Irwin are so nice.

• Reviewer: Brandon

  Comments: Grace & Irwin were the most hospitable hosts I've had in all my Airbnb travels (and I've had quite a few of hospitable hosts already!!). The Airbnb unit itself is meticulously cleaned and the location cannot be beat. I would recommend this place to anyone!!! As a bonus, they own the tea shop below the Airbnb, and it's a great place to get a refreshing drink or a delectable meal. (I recommend the General Tao's poutine!!!)

• Reviewer: Heather

  Comments: Great location within walking distance of central sites and very close to metro station. Good sized room and access to kitchen facilities if required. Air conditioning a major plus for summer time visits. Hosts were very helpful with recommendations for my stay.

• Reviewer: Annika

  Comments: Grace & Irwin were amazing hosts! I had to change my check-in time quite a bit on short notice, but they were very easy to communicate with and arranged a new check-in time without any problems =) The room is super clean, quiet, the airconditioning is very convenient and the bathroom has everything that is needed (water pressure really is quite low, as mentioned by the hosts). The location was excellent, I was actually able to walk everywhere, including nice restaurants, old town, Mount Royal, bus terminal etc.. I was really surprised that such a quiet room in such a nice house could be so close to all major attractions! Would definetly stay here again and can recommend it to anyone who is travelling alone and needs a safe, nice and accomodating place to stay!

  Comments: O Irwin e a Grace foram anfitriões bastante amigáveis e prestativos. O quarto é confortável e o local é perto de vários restaurantes e a menos de um quilômetro de um grande shopping. Fiquei muito satisfeito e fica minha recomendação.

• Reviewer: Barbora

  Comments: Grace and her family are great hosts. Although I arrived quite lately, Grace was waiting for me. The condo is very comfortable and clean with easy access to the subway. I enjoyed my stay here and I highly recommend to choose Grace & Irwin!

• Reviewer: Fabiola

  Comments: This room is exactly as described: super clean, very new and at an affordable price. Location was great as well. If I'm back in Montreal, I know where to stay!

• Reviewer: MaryJo

  Comments: This is a very good place to stay. The location is terrific--the neighborhood is interesting and the apartment is just a block from the metro. The apartment is very clean and quiet, and Grace and Irwin were friendly and helpful. The bedroom is small, but it has a nice closet and a desk and chair-- it was everything I needed for my stay. The kitchen was great for doing some simple cooking. I would want to stay there again, if I had the opportunity to come to Montreal.

• Reviewer: Nermeen

  Comments: Great room in a great location. Close to everything that is downtown. Perfect for tourists. Room is convenient and clean. Definitely recommend Grace and Irwin's place!

• Reviewer: 仪邦

  Comments: Grace&Irwin and their son are very friendly and welcoming, I really enjoyed living in their place!

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: Grace and Irwin's flat was a really good choice. Place looks decent enough from the outside, even better inside. They did mention that the water pressure isn't the best, but it still worked fine - not really a big issue for me. It's really good value for money given its location. Walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants, pubs, etc... Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Grace and Irwin but their son was very helpful, even gave a quick history of Montreal and the different tourist spots. I would stay here again definitely. 5 stars

• Reviewer: Luping

  Comments: This place is very convenient to stay as it is located downtown. There are many restaurants nearby especially Asian food. Guy-Concordia Station is tight around the corner. The room is clean and has all amenities you need. The host is the most welcoming Airbnb host I have ever had. Highly recommended.

• Reviewer: Celia

  Comments: Espaço adequado,clean e ótima localização!Anfitrioes gentis e disponíveis!

• Reviewer: Giovanna

  Comments: I think that the room is perfectly fine for short period (from 1 to 5 days) for the hospitality and position of the flat. On the other hand, I will not suggest this room for long period (for at least 5 days ) since none will take care to clean the room (and the private bathroom).

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: Great location. Close to the metro station. Very clean. Good communication.

• Reviewer: Robin

  Comments: I stayed here for a week and overall had a good stay. I didn't get to talk to Irwin in person (only through messages) but I talked to Grace and their son quite a few times and both of them were so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The location is incredible. The apartment is located near the Concordia University Metro station, as well as a bus stop that will get you to a lot of places. The city in general is very walkable and the location really takes advantage of that - there are quite a few restaurants/cafes/grocery stores within a 15 minute walking distance, and the main downtown shopping area is close too. Vieux Montréal is just a short metro ride away. The apartment itself is very clean and while the kitchen/dining area is small, it's well laid out and fully equipped. While I didn't use it during my stay, there is an in-unit washer/dryer. The room is a nice size, and I liked that there was a private bathroom attached. The bed was pretty hard, which didn't really bother me but is something to keep in mind. Sheets, a towel, a pillow, some hangers in the closet, toilet paper and body wash were all provided. The air con was awesome too, especially since it gets quite hot/humid in the summer. My biggest negative staying here was the water pressure. They warned me beforehand that the building was old and therefore the water pressure could be low from time to time, but to just wait a few minutes and try again. Typically this wouldn't bother me at all, but there were two days where I couldn't take a shower because there wasn't water, even after waiting 30 or more minutes. When there was water, there was a light stream - sufficient enough to wash hands, but not much else. I hate leaving negative feedback, and maybe I just came on a bad week, but it was something that bothered me enough where I feel it's important to let other guests know. I truly hope they're able to fix the water pressure problem somehow, because a part from that everything was perfect.

  Comments: Grace and Irwin’s place was absolutely perfect—right in the heart of the city, with the metro, restaurants, and grocery stores just a stones throw away. The apartment itself was spotlessly clean, recently refurbished, and very comfortable. Grace was helpful, friendly, and kind her her communication. Would highly recommend and would love to return on my next visit.

• Reviewer: Lei

  Comments: A perfect experience at Grace & Irwin’s place! A very cozy bedroom of enough space for two or even three adults with a spacious and very clean private bathroom inside. Everything in the room is in a good condition. The WIFI connection is fast and stable. Some previous reviews mentioned that there could be some water pressure issue, but it did not bother me at all during my stay since I found I was able to take the bath every day. The shared living room has an open kitchen with a wide choices of cookers. I was told I could cook there and use anything available. Grace host me during my stay and she is very friendly, accommodating and responsive. She relied to my questions very quickly and made my check-in and check-out very smooth. The place looks very safe, with electronic code-lock for each private room and another two doors to be locked from outside the building. The location is also perfect! It is in the downtown Montreal and very near to a number of famous and top-rated restaurants. It is within around one or two minutes walking distance from a metro station so the traffic is quite convenient as well. In a word, this is a perfect place with perfect host! I will choose this place again if I come back to Montreal next time. 总之,不论从房间的硬件设施,整洁程度,安全性,地理位置以及交通便利程度来看,都很完美｡房东人也很好很负责,今后如果可以的话,还会再次入住｡

  Comments: I chose Grace and Irwin's place in Montreal because I really liked the apartment they showed and described in the Airbnb website, as well as how close it was to the metro station and a lot of places in downtown Montreal. However, even though being close to this service and the location I just described, I had a lot of trouble with other issues during my stay. My main problems were the water pressure in the apartment was not good since the first week I arrived to the apartment, and this problem was never given a solution to during my whole stay there. There were several times when I got really late to several appointments at my job, had to cancel plans or reschedule my whole day because the water pressure would be so low that I couldn't take a shower without the water stopping every 2 minutes, and sometimes even for 30 minutes, making it impossible for me to take a whole shower in a small amount of time. Several times I had to write the owners to ask for a solution, since this kept being a bother to me and I only kept being told to be patient and try to understand the situation. During my stay in Montreal, this problem only kept getting worse, both in quantity (every time the amount of water coming out of the shower, bathroom and kitchen sink would be even less) and frequency (it kept happening more and more frequently, frist every week, then every 3 days until it was every day) and what got me really disappointed is that I never felt this situation was handled correctly by the owners. It wasn't until my last week in the apartment that the water situation got so bad that it ran out completely and my roommate and me were left with NO water for 2 days and a half, that one of the owners went by and saw the problem by herself. I didn't like that still, there was no soluton to the problem. During these days, I had to buy several bottles and gallons of water and even suscribe to a gym in order for me to take showers and be able to use a bathroom. It was a problem that really changed the whole perception I had of the apartment as well as the owners' abilities to solve conflicts raised during the stay of a visitor. As I mentioned in one point to the owners, this kind of trouble was never described like this neither in person nor in the Airbnb website, and I think it should be mentioned before someone decides to stay in a new place. Also, I have to mention that I did not feel comfortable being in the apartment several times because the owners of the building or part of their family would enter in the apartment and make use of the utensils there (e.g.: the kitchen, washer, drier, etc.) while the guest where there. I made me feel as if I had no privacy and I was not paying for a place to be my home for those weeks, but instead felt as if it was not my apartment and I couldn't feel comfortable there. Besides this, the apartment is really well located in Downtown Montreal and the location of the metro (1 min walk) is a really nice plus for this building.
