Summary: Enjoy Plateau living at its best! Pleasant cozy and bright space with back deck and shared backyard, in the middle of all the action yet on a very quiet residential street, just 2 minutes from Mont-Royal, boutiques on St-Laurent and St-Denis, restos and more. Although I love travelling, I very much enjoy being in my home. I have tried to make it a comfortable, quiet and cheery space. I hope you will enjoy it as well!

Space: Enjoy your stay in a quiet, cozy and bright top-floor apartment with back deck and shared backyard. Located on the top floor of a century-old two-floor house, with a spacious back deck which overlooks our own private backyard. Lovely home, bright and sunny thanks to its patio door at the back and a skylight in the living room area. Not huge (650 sq. ft.), and the entrance and staircase are amongst the narrowest in town, but it has a very spacious open concept living room and kitchen. There is one small closed bedroom at the back of the house (away from street) and a small bathroom, complete with a bathtub. My house is comprised of two separate independent apartments. I usually live upstairs, but have recently moved to the ground floor, as one of my dogs now has trouble with the stairs. I work from home. I consider myself a lively person, but I need my peace and quiet at home. My work requires a great amount of concentration, and I´m a light sleeper, so I am looking to host guests who

Neighborhood Overview: The Plateau... where else in Montreal would you want to be! The area is brimming with restaurants, boutiques, health food stores, a beautiful blend of old-style and trendy architecture, and my personal favorite... the Mont-Royal, our own beautiful little mountain, where you can pretend you are lost in a lush forest, and enjoy incredible views of the city.

Notes:

Transit: The house is an easy 10-minute walk from the subway station (Mont-Royal), and there are different bus lines just around the corner. I personally walk or bike everywhere, as everything is within walking distance, and there are plenty of Bixi stations very close by, but if you want to show off your sports car, parking is easy on my street, even without a resident´s permit (Hey... do not share this with anyone!). I can also provide you with a temporary resident sticker for $10 a day (please tell me in advance). If you prefer, there is a parking lot nearby at a rate of $10/day, and a neighbour on my block offers my guests a covered garage for $18/day.

Access: The apartment and back deck are yours to enjoy. Backyard will be shared with the apartment downstairs, that is, with me, or with another guest if it´s occupied as well. There are two bikes you can borrow, too! (shared with the apartment downstairs, so please ask me first).

Interaction: If I am not in town when you arrive, I will be reachable by phone or e-mail. I will send you an e-mail before you arrive with instructions on how to get the keys, and the basic house tips and tricks :) And if I´m in town, I´ll be happy to welcome you myself. Don´t hesitate to ask me if you are not sure of something, you will not be bothering me at all, and I´d rather you ask me than assume something!

House Rules: I am blessed with quiet neighbors on both sides and I live downstairs, or may have guests downstairs, so I request that you behave quietly as well. No outdoor shoes in the house. I offer a bunch of Crocs to my guests in different sizes. They are disinfected upon check-out. Please wear the Crocs provided (or bring your own) so as not to disturb whoever is downstairs: no barefoot walking -with or without socks- as it makes noise (most people don´t realize this until I explain it :) Feel free to listen to my CD´s or read my books but please do not go through closets or cabinets (other than in the kitchen), as they contain my personal belongings. If you need something specific, just ask me! You must provide your own food, and personal care products (soap and toilet paper are of course provided). My pantry and beauty cabinet are off-limits! Residents of this neighbourhood compost and recycle ---by law. Please separate organic waste, recyclable materials and garbage and dispose of them in

  • Reviewer: Sean

    Comments: Maria's apartment in Plateau was perfect for our stay in Montreal! The apartment is very spacious, well decorated, and stocked with everything you could need during your stay. Maria met us on time and showed us everything we needed to know about the place. It also features a beautiful balcony and backyard. The location is perfect for exploring Montreal and close to grocery stores, trendy restaurants, bars and shopping. I would recommend this apartment to anyone.

    Comments: Lovely place in a wonderful location!

  • Reviewer: Genevieve

    Comments: L'appartement de Marìa est situé à proximité des meilleures boutiques et restaurants sur le plateau. Il est donc facile de se déplacer à pied. La communication avec Marìa est claire et rapide. Elle fournit des instructions détaillées. Elle a aussi accommodé notre chien durant notre séjour. La cours arrière est une belle addition. De plus, il y a une petit parc gazonné à proximité.

    Comments: Beautiful place. Very clean. Easy to communicate with Maria. I loved that stay and was so sorry to leave. No doubt I will try this place again when I come back to Montreal. Maria is a fabulous host.

  • Reviewer: Lj

    Comments: What a great place to stay. Lovely outdoor space, clean, spacious. Maria very easy to communicate with and was such a lovely host. Area is brilliant. Full of interesting cafes and lovely shops. Very near tube but lovely walk into town too.

    Comments: Appartement très soignée et hôtesse très accueillante. Bien placé et au calme il permet de visiter Montréal sans problème. C'est formidable de trouver un logement comme cela sur Mont Royal. Je recommande !

  • Reviewer: Jasmine

    Comments: Loved this place. Super cute and convenient from the hip spots! Maria was very communicative, too.

  • Reviewer: Hall

    Comments: A clean, comfortable apartment on a quiet street in the heart of things. When I arrived Maria was there saving me a parking space directly in front of my door! Maria is great, full of life and enthusiasm.

  • Reviewer: Virginia

    Comments: I didn’t meet Maria but she was quick to communicate by text. Overall the place was clean but lacked some comforts such as extra pillows and blankets. A small table and chairs would have been nice on the balcony for outside dining. I would suggest bringing tea/coffee to get your day started. A list of local cafes in the neighbourhood would have been helpful as well as the nearest SAQ, grocery store and Metro station. I discovered a fabulous cafe a block away called Neve’s. A wonderful way to start your day. As a rule, Montrealers are super friendly and helpful. The Plateau is a great place to discover. Maria’s Place is well-situated.

  • Reviewer: Gildas

    Comments: Je suis resté un mois et demi dans l’appartement de Maria pour une mission à Montréal. Très bien placé tout proche de l’angle hôtel de ville et Rachel, dans une rue calme mais quartier animé, à 7/8 minutes à pied du métro, 10 min à pied du Mont-Royal, 5 min à pied des commerces, boulangeries etc. Le quartier est très chouette avec de jolis cafés à 2 min à pied (Névé, Santropol, Réplika), de supers restaurants (l’Express, le Pied de Cochon, le Filet, etc.), il y a même un loueur de smokings à 15 min à pied en cas de soirée habillée pour les visiteurs (maison Waxman), je n’aurais pas voulu vivre ailleurs. L’appartement ensuite : totalement authentique, en rapport avec Maria, une hôte pleine de vie, très réactive et soucieuse du bien être de ses locataires. Photos fidèles. Aucun problème relevé durant le séjour, Maria a même instantanément augmenté le débit Internet à ma demande. L’appartement est traversant, ce qui le rend très agréable. Étant présent en hiver je n’ai pas profité de la terrasse mais un point extérieur reste précieux ! Je recommanderais les yeux fermés si vous restez un long moment à Montréal.

    Comments: perfect location

  • Reviewer: Mo

    Comments: Maria’s place was lovely. It is in an old building as she states, so stairs are steep and narrow and not a lot of room when you open the door but when you get to the top it is worth it! We where there for the Grand Prix, so easy access to metro to get to the track. A bit further away from all the other action going on in Old Montréal. We managed to get tickets for the Aura at the Basilica and can highly recommend it!

  • Reviewer: Didier

    Comments: Un adorable appartement deux pièces et cuisine avec une petite terrasse, beaucoup de charme, le tout aménagé avec soin et goût, dans une propreté sans faute et un sens parfait de l’accueil (y compris dans la présence de Maria pour nous aider à l’arrivée). En plus, l’appartement est situé dans un quartier TRÈS vivant et agréable ( Le Plateau, près du métro, à quelques minutes du centre historique , intéressant, mais très surpeuplé). Beaucoup de petits restos et bars vraiment agréables. BREF : VRAIMENT TRÈS RECOMMANDé à Montréal. .

  • Reviewer: Julian

    Comments: Maria is a wonderful host. She pays attention to every single detail. She is one of the friendliest and more honest host I have met. The place has a wonderful vibe. I slept so peacefully. The neighborhood is wonderful. I love walking to the cafes and restaurants and to Parc La Fontaine. I recommend Maria's place in the strongest terms. Thank you, Maria, for being such an attentive host.

  • Reviewer: Lisa

    Comments: This is the most interesting part of Montreal, and Maria’s place is the perfect base. It’s comfortable, light, private, has all you need - including organic toiletries - and is ideal especially if you’re traveling solo. Maria’s plants are all thriving too; you can tell this is someone’s home and even though she’s not there, she treats you like a real guest. This year she added ceiling fans, so even as a repeat guest, it exceeded my expectations! Great communication and would stay every time I return to Mtl.

  • Reviewer: Maaza

    Comments: My stay in Maria's place was absolutely fantastic. Check-in was easy and Maria was always available to answer any questions. I could not have asked for a better host. The apartment is spacious, incredibly clean, very well decorated, and has all the amenities you could want. The neighborhood is full of cafes, restaurants, shops. Thank you, Maria!

  • Reviewer: Vaughn

    Comments: Good Sized Apartment. Older building - like most of Montreal. Simple, but complete kitchen. Steep stairs entering, but we didn't mind. Wonderful location in the middle of Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood. Lots of great stuff within walking distance. Communication with Maria was excellent.
