Reviewer: Diorèle
Comments: Appartement très sympa et propre. L'appartement est très bien situé et Zaki nous a très bien accueilli et nous a donné des conseils pour visiter Montréal. Ce fut un super séjour ! Je recommande fortement cet appartement !

Reviewer: Marina

Reviewer: Julie
Comments: Appartement super, extrêmement calme à la joie de mes parents qui ont aimé leur séjour. Ressemblance parfaite avec les photos. Situé à deux pas du métro et de l'avenue Montroyal, parfait pour les tous les achats ! Très propre. A recommander !

Reviewer: Brian
Comments: My host, Zaki, was welcoming and responsive. I had a very late arrival (close to midnight) and he was there to great me and see me into the place. The place was just as it was described and was away from the street noise and quiet which was great when I needed to sleep. The place is situated in a great spot with easy access to the metro and Bixi bike rental which I used. Cafe's and places to eat are a block away. Overall it was a great experience, with a great host, in a great place!

Reviewer: Ros
Comments: Lovely apartment, sparkling clean, well equipped and a super comfy bed! Well located on a pretty street very close to the Metro, it doesn't overlook the street so very quiet (not that it's a noisy street!) Great to have a laundry room right next to the flat - $1 each for wash and dry. Fast wifi. We loved it there. Highly recommended!

Reviewer: Mélanie
Comments: Appart très bien situé sur le plateau et super tranquille. Stationnement très facile à trouver à proximité. Communications excellentes avec le proprio. Idéale pour un weekend en couple mais l'espace est restreint j'hésiterais à y passer un plus long séjour a moins d'être seule. Je recommande si vous prévoyez profiter du quartier.

Comments: Quartier très sympa proche de toutes commodités.

Reviewer: Robert
Comments: The host arranged to have his brother waiting for us on the doorstep with the keys. It was very convenient. The neighbourhood is central to the plateau in Montreal and yet it was quite quiet ... just as advertised.

Reviewer: Riane (Ryan)
Comments: Very accommodating! We arrived late and Zaki was very nice and patient. Apartment true to photos and in a great location! Host very helpful. We stayed one night, there was free parking out front. Worked out great!

Reviewer: Nicole
Comments: Really great location! Close to the metro and bixi bike is on the corner of the street! Mont royal was a really nice neighborhood and with being polite to everyone about not speaking French the hospitality industry were happy to speak English with a polite attitude Zaki was able to meet us before our stay and let us know any small details about the place, clean and tidy apartment perfect for 2 for a week getaway! Would come back to stay here in a heart beat! :)

Reviewer: Marcela&Matt
Comments: Zaki very kindly met up with us to deliver the keys and gave us a few tips on where to go to enjoy the neighborhood. We loved the street and the neighborhood where Zaki's place was! The apartment was comfortable and had basic amenities such as towels and wifi. Highly recommended place for a weekend getaway to the true Montreal!
-
Reviewer: Mary
Comments: The place was everything we needed. It's a nice quiet neighborhood with street parking. Zaki helped us understand the parking signs. The kitchen was equipped with what we needed to enjoy our market goodies. The porch pictured faces the back yard, which allowed us to sleep with the doors open and screen closed. I suggest bringing dvds or a tablet for movies because there is no cable. There are many bars and restaurants you can easily walk to. Great stay!

Reviewer: Kevin
Comments: Zaki's place was great! Very clean, comfortable and quiet, and exactly what we needed. Zaki was very easy to deal with and always quick to respond to any questions we had. He was very accommodating with check in / check out times and the neighbourhood is amazing! So close to the metro and lots of great coffee shops, bars and restaurants right around the corner. Would stay here again for sure! Highly recommend!
-
Reviewer: Jerome
Comments: I loved the location, near subway and restaurants and bars. The stairs to door were very steep and not suitable for elders or drunks. The unit was not bright or cheery. The TV should have cable TV or at least hd cables for your computer. Also toilet paper would be a bonus!
-
Reviewer: Joanda
Comments: Zakis apartment was clean and functional, although a bit sparsely decorated. I was a great place for us to crash during a weekend in Montreal, we could walk to all the best bars, restaurants and boutiques in and around Le Plateau and Mile End within 35 minutes. Actually, we hardly left the area except for a shorter visit to the old city. The check-in process could have been smoother as we had not received adequate information on what floor or apartment that was for us, however, Zaki was quick to reply when we texted for more info and was very flexible in regards to our stay.
-
Reviewer: Jean-Vivien
Comments: Très sympathique logement, fidèle à la description. Zaki était particulièrement arrangeant et très sympathique. Seul petit bémol sur la literie qui n'avait pas l'air d'avoir été changée alors que des frais sont prévus justement pour cela. L'accès se fait via un escalier colossal alors prévoyez un ami aux gros bras si vous avez quelques valises à monter.
-
Reviewer: Franck
Comments: L'appartement est très bien situé dans le quartier du plateau. Le métro est tout prêt et le quartier plein de restaurants et bars. L'accès à l'appartement est simple. Tout le nécessaire est présent, tous était propre et confortable. Nous n'avons pas eu la chance de rencontrer Zaki mais il est resté disponible et réactif à nos messages. Je recommande sans hésiter !
-
Reviewer: Linda
Comments: The apartment is exactly as seen in the pictures. The location of the place is superb, 5 min walk from Mont Royal station and in the midst of a great cafe/restaurant scene. There are multiple gems on the side streets of Mont Royal Rue too! Overall, we had a great time in Montreal and this place was exactly as we expected! For future stayers- It's a no frills, basic place with most amenities. The cable TV does not work and there were no toiletries - so bring your own shampoo and soap! Per previous reviews, the steps leading up the apartment are extremely steep, so it's difficult if you have a large suitcase.
-
Reviewer: Cying
Comments: Very close to metro. Some really greater local diners in the area. Zaki was very easy to reach. We had some internet problem when we first arrived due to snowstorm but he fixed it as soon as he could. The TV didn't turn on but we didn't really need it. Great stay overall.
-
Reviewer: Beth
Comments: When we arrived at Zaki's place the temperature was about -10 degrees Fahrenheit. The apartment heated up quickly and was very cozy. It is clean, simple, and well-equipped. Some amenities we appreciated were two bed-side lamps, hooks in the bathroom, and an extra comforter for the bed. The apartment is in an excellent location--near Avenue Mont Royal, Rue Rachel, and Rue du Duluth. There are so many appealing restaurants nearby. It is also very close to the beautiful Parc La Fontaine. We had planned to be out and about far more than we were, but due to the frigid temps, we were inside quite a bit and it was so comfortable and pleasant. We hope to be back!
-
Reviewer: Taryn
Comments: This is a great location in Montreal. Close to great restaurants and not far from downtown. Zaki was great and made it very easy to check in and out. The apartment was very clean and much more cost than a hotel. Couple things to note, parking is a problem as street parking is for permit holders so you risk getting a ticket. Also the tv didn't work for us. It turned on but we couldn't switch the media source to use the DVD player. Wasn't a big deal as we were only there for the night but something to note for longer stays. All around a great place to stay. Thank you Zaki!!
-
Reviewer: Jane
Comments: The neighborhood is amazing. We walked everywhere - lots of cafes, shops etc. The street is also nice and very typical of Le Plateau. It's a stretch to call the apartment "Grand Luxe" as it's very basic and functional. It would have been helpful to have better instructions for the lockbox as we had lots of difficulty getting entering the apartment. The TV didn't work for us and there were no instructions for the WiFi but it was clean and quiet.
-
Reviewer: Dianne
Comments: Zaki's studio apartment was clean and cozy when we arrived. It's small but has everything you need. It's in a multi-unit building, but it was very quiet. And the location is terrific!—very close to the Mont-Royal metro station and rue St-Denis so you have quick access to the whole city. And there are plenty of great places to eat right in the neighborhood as well. Parking is on the street which can be a challenge, as per usual for Montreal. Just read the signs closely and be prepared to park a couple of blocks away. Zaki was very gracious to me about my stilted French and we managed to communicate well, so don't worry if you're not a French speaker. My husband and I highly recommend booking with Zaki. Merci mille fois, Zaki!
-
Reviewer: Leah
Comments: The apartment was ideal for a weekend in Montreal. It is well-appointed and clean, although not "luxe," as described. The neighbourhood is lovely and lively, but the apartment is quiet.
-
Reviewer: Samantha
Comments: Zaki was a wonderful host! Incredibly fast to respond and very helpful. The apartment was perfect, clean and in the best spot in montreal! Highly recommended!
-
Reviewer: Barry
Comments: Studio was as described. A perfect place for exploring Montreal and feeling relaxed and comfortable after a long day touring. We found the Studio to be in a very quiet area. Neighbourhood pleasant and refreshing. Zaki had left great instructions on making arrangements for the keys. No problems at all and no surprises. Everything required was available in the Studio.
-
Reviewer: Sarah
Comments: Great, comfortable little spot. Great location. Clean. Zaki was available through messaging easily. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
-
Reviewer: Jean-Marc
Comments: Agréable studio, calme et bien placé sur le plateau entre métro Mont-Royal, et "La Banquise" haut lieu de la Poutine. Attention, l'accès a la cour intérieur n'est pas autorisé. Zaki, est vite joignable, toujours avec une solution. Une remarque cependant, le minimum permettant de faire un café ou un thé en arrivant n'était pas assuré. il a fallut vite recourir au dépanneur, c'est le seul bémol à apporter à notre trop court séjour chez Zaki. l'appartement de Zaki est a recommander.
-
Reviewer: Dylan
Comments: We didn't see or meet Zaki which was fine as we were busy. The place was pretty clean although the corners had dust and the cracks of the chairs had crumbs. One block form the Metro station with bixi bikes even closer. Galley kitchen with pots, pans, glasses, cutlery etc but no supplies (salt, pepper, sugar, oil etc.) Good for reheating leftovers or pre made meals. It was quiet as it's in the back of the building although there is only one window, the sliding door in the bedroom, and when the heat exchanger for the building is running it is fairly loud as it's directly below the door. When we were there the screen door was unusable, just leaning against the side of the building and the garbage can was full, stinky and 3 feet from the sliding bedroom door. Fortunately it wasn't really hot while we were there so we only had to close the door once because of the stink. I noticed a bike rack in the backyard, good spot if you brought your own bikes although at $100/night you're probably going to spend another $5/day for a bixi pass if you want to bike.

Reviewer: Karim
Comments: Great location clean and great price. Really tough to beat. I did not have the chance to meet Zaki but he was responsive and a great host. Highly recommended if you are traveling alone or as a couple.
-
Reviewer: Manuel
Comments: Très bon séjour à Montréal et l'appartement de Zaki y est pour beaucoup. Fidèle à la description il est propre et dispose du nécessaire à la première journée. Dans un immeuble calme et silencieux. Le seul bruit du matin est le chant des oiseaux de la cour arrière. Plutôt agréable. Zaki à été très clair pour la remise des clefs et très réactif lorsque j'avais des questions. Je reviendrai à Montréal, je reviendrai chez Zaki.
-
Reviewer: Tim
Comments: The room was clean and in quite a nice area but dont be decieved by the shot from the street its very small and was very hot only a fan which barely helped and a TV with no service just a dvd and no selection. I guess you get what you pay for. Also very steep stairs to access. Good value for young people with little luggage.

Reviewer: Pam
Comments: Earlier this month, we stayed in the studio apartment in the Plateau neighborhood of Montreal (hosted by Zaki). We loved the charm of the building & neighborhood (and the cleanliness of the apt). The studio apt. was the right size for two of us who were more interested in exploring Montreal than staying around in an apt. The apt. is a short walk to the Metro station (at Mont Royal) and a short walk from MANY dining and entertainment options. Zaki even recommended a couple of places for dinner (we choose the "best poutinne in Montreal" spot). We knew that the apt. didn't have air conditioning (as stated) but we were disappointed that the only screened opening in this interior apt. was broken. If you are thinking of visiting in the heat of summer, this is less than ideal. The other issue that people traveling by car have to be aware is the lack of parking in this entire area. There is free parking in limited spots but it is only for certain times of day, so we either had to hang around the neighborhood jumping from spot to spot or risk getting a ticket (they don't tow)...we got ticketed (but were lucky because we only received one ticket in a two day period of time). But, even though there were some issues to deal with, we loved the feeling of being a part of this active Montreal neighborhood. P.S. The eclairs at the bakery in the Sherbrooke were the best!!
-
Reviewer: Stuti
Comments: Comfortable and clean place to stay. Many amazing places to eat within 5 minutes walk from the location. The main "downtown" to see in Montreal was about 40 min walk away. Parking: there is a spot for about 4 cars right in front of the building where you can park most days and overnight (minus the few hours on the day listed on the street parking sign) Host was wonderful with responses. Only thing missing was that we ran out of toilet paper during the 2 night stay because there weren't any extra in the apartment. Host was apologetic that he hadn't gotten a chance to restock before our arrival.

Reviewer: Agnieszka

Reviewer: Jenna
Comments: The apartment was absolutely perfect for a weekend in the city. Everything was clean, and the check-in process was quite smooth. The location couldn't have been better. There are tons of cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance - we hardly had do use public transportation at all! (Although the metro is conveniently nearby the apartment as well.) 10/10, would recommend. Thanks, Zaki!

Comments: The location of this space is AMAZING...the space is perfect, it's got all you need...but it was a bit pricey and some things need to be taken care of in term of cleanliness...I've informed Zaki...I'm certain he will work on it. Also Zaki was very accommodating and responsive.

Comments: L'appartement est tout à fait conforme à la description. Il est très, très bien situé dans un quartier que nous avons beaucoup apprécié. Nous y avons séjourné 6 nuits pendant les fêtes de Noël et nous avons été sous le charme. Si nous devions revenir à Montréal en Hiver, nous le relouerions, et cela nous donne envie d'y revenir en été.

Reviewer: Pierce
Comments: This apartment is amazing for up to 2 people for an indefinite amount of time. The location is amazing, 1 block in any direction to food and sights. Bed is comfortable, with plenty of space in the bedroom. Full bathroom and kitchen, with breakfast table was more than you need for a trip where the main purpose is to binge eat! Quiet apartment, never heard or saw any neighbors, and the street is mostly families so no problems with rowdy folks. Multiple "out of town" parking spaces located right in front, just read the signs on the street! Easy check in/check out/ Great communication! We would/are absolutly going to stay here again!
-
Reviewer: Shane
Comments: Zaki was great to stay with. We never actually met but he assisted on very short notice when our other airbnb screwed us around... His communication was great and everything about the place was as advertised. Easy and convenient for us and we were able secure a parking spot right in front of the apartment

Reviewer: Sonya
Comments: The location was great! The apt was clean for the most part with the exception of a dirty towel hung on back of bathroom door, no toilet paper upon arrival, and I also found some of other guests' hairs on the bed linen (definitely were not mine). The apt has the basic amenities EXCEPT the wifi did not work at all. I reached out to the Zaki and he said he was out of town and that he would call me the next day but I never received a phone call or any form of follow up.

Comments: Studio calme et bien situé. Pas de WI FI et TV. Aucun élément de confort à l'arrivée, boisson, papier toilette, café, lait. Le propriétaire n'était pas présent durant 3 jours. correspondance que par sms.
-
Reviewer: Guylaine
Comments: Zaki's apartment was just as described: clean, comfortable, and perfectly situated. It is just around the corner from a big park and a five minute walk from the metro as well as the best areas in the city for shopping, eating, going out. The kitchen had all the cooking utensils we needed to cook but isn't stocked so if you plan on cooking bring your salt and pepper etc. There was an issue with the wifi before we arrived but Zaki communicated with us and had the issue fixed shortly after we arrived.
-
Reviewer: Warren
Comments: Zaki's place is quite nice. It is in a fantastic location! Very close to the Metro, restaurants, bars and shops but on a quiet street. Best of both worlds. Zaki was quite good at helping out with a couple problems that arose like letting me keep my bags there a few hours past check out.

Reviewer: Debi
Comments: This is a great studio. Everything you need for a comfortable retreat. It was surprisingly quiet given that it is centrally located. Just tucked away above a courtyard. I would definitely stay again.

Reviewer: Eugène
Comments: Logement calme et proche de toutes les commodités, commerces, restaurants, transports en commun... Idéal pour 1 ou 2 personnes sans problème physique compte tenu de la pente de l'escalier extérieur. La cuisine et la salle de bain sont des pièces aveugles.

Reviewer: Guy
Comments: We stayed in unit 3 and while it was not the worst place to stay it was not great. It is not a home. It looks like a full time rental with essential needs met but not very clean.

Comments: Bon emplacement sur le plateau du Mont Royal. Appartement calme, bonne literie. Salle de bain agréable. Dommage que l'appartement soit sombre. Les jours de chaleur, le ventilateur est insuffisant... Une climatisation serait bienvenue.

Reviewer: Christine
Comments: Studio confortable et pratique (buanderie dans l'immeuble, cuisine et salle de bains très bien équipées), très bien situé, proche du métro, des commerces, restaurants et d'une piscine gratuite rue Marie-Anne. Grande disponibilité du propriétaire . Le quartier est très agréable, rien que pour s'y promener en admirant les maisons et les jardins et en rencontrant des Montréalais, toujours prêts à parler avec des Français ! De bonnes conditions de logement pour un excellent séjour !
-
Reviewer: Max
Comments: Zaki's place was centrally located and in a great neighborhood. It was also quiet at night. I appreciated the fact that he had a fan in the apartment as it could get stuffy during the evening. We had a great stay in Montreal!
-
Reviewer: Jake
Comments: Great location but had a couple of issues both of which should be easily corrected by the host for future guests. The big problem was unit had no a/c and it was summertime hot and we could not cool the place down - net effect was two difficult to sleep nights. I called the host and he text me that there is no a/c and will just have to sleep with the sliding doors, to the outside, open at night - there are no windows in the unit. There's a fan that we kept on but it just blows hot air around. I tried a bucket of ice in front of the fan but could not cool the place down. The other issue is given a $40 cleaning fee, while the place looks clean, when I turned on the shower the water back up because of hair and guck in the drain. Some towels did not smell clean and bedspread/sheets had some stains. Not a big deal but when charging a $40 fee not acceptable. Overall, we were mainly disappointed because it should not cost the host much to have a small a/c unit that can be turned on for hot days and nights and that would have made all the difference.

Reviewer: Megan
Comments: We unfortunately found ourselves in a situation where our airbnb was completely uninhabitable, but our host was not willing to provide a refund. On the evening of our arrival, we soon discovered that the bathtub faucets were in such disrepair that the water could not turn off after use. As the tub filled up quicky with water from the broken faucet and a bad drain, we had to use kitchen pots to bail water out of the tub for 40 min until the host arrived. Although Zaki was immediately reachable by phone, we were unable to communicate our issue due to the language barrier. After hanging up to write to Zaki on the airbnb app, he said he would come to the apartment in 20 minutes. He did arrive until 40 minutes later. He arrived and managed to turn the faucet off by jamming and twisting the shower head toggle and tap at the same time. Clearly, he knew the faucets were broken before but did not bother to fix it. Further, it seemed that he had broken the faucet even more in the process of turning the water off. So at this point the hot water knob no longer worked and water could only come out of the bottom spout, and not the shower head. Then, Zaki tried to tell us that this was due to "city work" when clearly, anyone could look at the shower and tell that it was in bad shape to begin with. He then suggested we could shower by using the KITCHEN POTS to catch water and pour over ourselves. We told him that we were leaving and he agreed to refund us the rest of the trip (2 nights). Later, when Zaki had left, he messaged to tell us that he would only refund us $200 even though we paid $108 per night plus $100 in service fees and cleaning fees. We ended up wasting the entirety of our first day and half in Montreal dealing with the bathtub situation and filing a complaint with airbnb customer service. Luckily, they were extremely helpful and got us the full refund. Another thing to note is that the apartment was not clean. There is a strong odour that is noticeable as soon as you walk in. The coffee maker easy used by the previous guest and was left dirty.

Reviewer: Piccolo
Comments: Just for the neighborhood, it is a great place to stay. It is perfectly located on the Plateau Mont-Royal, near SO MANY restaurant and hot spots, near the subway or at a walkable distance from downtown. The home itself is a bit small, but very clean and quiet. We had a few problems with the shower (hot water not closing), but we were warned by Zaki about it (even if a bit late : two hours before arrival). Except these few details, we had a great week-end in Montreal !

Reviewer: Lucie
Comments: Le studio de Zaki est vraiment très bien situé sur le Plateau, proche du métro Mont Royal et de nombreux restaurants. Le studio est bien pour dormir (en journée il est très peu lumineux). Lors de notre séjour (3 nuits), des poubelles étaient abandonnées devant la maison, ça faisait très sale par rapport au reste de la rue. Nous n'avons pas vu Zaki mais il a été disponible par messages et nous a très bien expliqué le check-in/check-out. Ce n'est pas un studio "grand luxe", mais bien pour quelques nuits.

Comments: This apartment is in a nice location between two main areas. Zaki communicated well with us and had excellent food recommendations! However, the place was not as clean as we would have liked with leftover food in the cupboard and microwave, and unclean bedspread. Other than that we enjoyed everything available in the kitchen and the easy location.
