Victorian homes have captured our hearts hundreds of years. However, there is so much more than meets the eye behind those dollhouse-like exteriors. The interior of this superb 5-bedroom flat is stemming with the gorgeous defining features of an authentic Victorian home: high ceilings, intricate wooden trim and an ornate staircase to name a few. This amazing bed and breakfast is located in the heart of Montreal. There are 5 individual private bedrooms in the house (each reservation includes ONE bedroom), each furnished with a combination of beds (either 2 queen, 2 double or a bunk bed with 1 double and 1 twin). Shared spaces include 2 full bathrooms, one powder room, a huge kitchen and dining room. Also includes access to an extremely large living room and an out of this world game room equipped with a pool table! Oh! And two exterior balconies.
The Space:
This place is modernly renovated and elegant yet minimalist – of course while providing a fully renovated kitchen and bathrooms, we still managed to maintain the home's essence and it's Victorian charm. The entire space is incredible and it all works together to deliver an experience that simply can't be topped.
Each of the 5 private room are furnished with two beds (either 2 queen, 2 double or a bunk bed with 1 double and 1 twin), each holding a luxury mattress. There is also ample lighting, plenty of storage for luggage and personal belongings, and each of the private rooms has a digital lock and unique access code.
The shared spaces include a large open living area with an enormous lavish leather couch and a huge flat screen TV (equipped with local cable); a modern fully stocked kitchen (oven, hob, dishwasher, toaster, fridge, cooking utensils, microwave, coffee machine, ANOTHER flat screen TV– you get the idea!), a large dining room with a massive wooden table and seating for 10 and oh! yes - another television. Also shared are 2 full bathrooms, and a powder room, each more beautiful that the next. There is also access to the outdoor deck, although sadly we haven't any outdoor furniture at the moment. Most excitingly is the shared game room which boasts a beautiful wooden pool table, an elegant bar, abundant seating and ANOTHER flat screen TV.
And what would a B&B be without the second B?! Also included in your stay is daily breakfast - we will always have generous amount of coffee, tea, seasonal fruits, eggs, butter, cream cheese and BAGELS on hand. Montreal is famous for it's bagels and we get ours from the very best. Fairmount bagels is arguably better than any other bakery on this side of the world. **Note: while breakfast is provided, hosts do not *prepare* the food each morning. They will be stored in the fridge for guests to prepare themselves breakfast.**
That said, a home is more than its furnishings – the vibe of this space, the *feeling* that you get when you walk up the intricate staircase and through the detailed wooden double front door. THAT is why you want to stay with us. Because THAT feeling – that’s what memories are made of.
Long story short - you're going to feel incredible when you're here.
Guest Access:
Your private room will be all yours. That said, the rest of the house (excluding the other private rooms) are all accessible (although shared with other B&B guests). Nothing else is off limits. So as we mentioned before, put your feet up. Stay a while. (We do ask though that you not leave personal belongings in shared spaces - other than the fridge of course!)
The Neighborhood:
Being in such a central location is magnificent. You're at the foot of the mountain, where even novices can enjoy a breathtaking hike on a beautiful day. You're only a couple minutes from Sainte Catherine street to fill any and all shopping desires. Mile End and our famous bagels are due north and world famous St Laurent (and it's nightlife) is a few minutes east. Place des Arts is just around the corner (hosting the annual Jazz Fest and Just for Laughs) and about a 15 minute walk from the space, you can visit the Old Port and Old Montreal - with it's cobblestone roads, horse drawn carriage and rich history. The closest metro station is only 5 minutes away, which will allow you to quickly access almost anywhere in the city through our underground transit system.
Getting Around:
The metro station Place des Arts will be your home base at about a five minute walk from the flat. From there, the green line is all yours. If you wanna head north to the plateau, you can grab the 24 on Sherbrooke and disembark in three minutes (five if it's rush hour) at Saint Laurent and either make the leisurely stroll north, or grab the 55 if you've got a specific destination in mind. If Mile End and the bagels found therein tickles your fancy, it's just a few steps east toward Parc to grab the 80 north. And there's a Bixi stand (a city wide bike rental company) super close to the apartment, just off the corner of Hutchinson & Sherbrooke. And of course, Montreal is one of the most walkable cities in the world, so if you've got a comfy pair of kicks, you're all set!
