This was the perfect location for our family of three to explore Montreal. We were planning to use Metro (station about 10 minute walk) to go places on our 5 day stay, and only ended up using it one day as the weather was perfect walking weather. If you are a serious walker, you can walk to Old Montreal, (about an hour), Parc Du Mont Royal (about an hour to get to the top), and great neighborhoods. Our car stayed parked in the safe, very clean, underground parking spot provided. Great restaurants can be walked to from any direction of the rental. City bicycle rentals are available on the corner; bring your helmets! While we took normal precautions we always do while traveling, we never felt unsafe walking throughout the neighborhood.

As for the penthouse itself, it was exactly as advertised. Everything was clean and comfortable. As pictured, the rooms are a little small which is normal for city dwellings; there are two decent-sized closet spaces for your things. The two outdoor terraces were relaxing and beautiful, and my teenage daughter enjoyed having her own space to get away from the parents. I appreciated the washer/dryer on the second floor. I would not recommend this rental for people with physical disabilities or families with a young child as the stairs are steep, but for everyone else, this would be a wonderful location for exploring the city.

Richard (Nathan was out of town) made sure we had everything we needed at the beginning of our stay and gave us lots of good information/maps of the area which we appreciated and used. It was a wonderful stay!
