Bright top-floor loft in Mile-End
About this condo rental
Nestled in Laval, this attractive condo for $140 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Open-style loft on the top floor of old Outremont building. Big skylight, and windows onto trees. Close walking distance to trendy Mile-End cafés and restos, as well as beautiful Outremont parks. The space has one queen-size, with the option to sleep more on the couches in the living room. I live here with my girlfriend, but she has moved to Scandinavia so I let the space while I go abroad. I have been renovating for a few years, and have tried to modernize without affecting the area's natural historical charm. The space is built around a very large skylight, with large windows giving onto treetops all around. There is no air conditioning as natural breezes do a pretty good job of cooling off the space at night. Guests can have access to the whole apartment, with WIFI. I won't be present during guest's stay, but will try to be present to handover keys whenever possible :) If you like being close to everything but away from the hustle-bustle, open-style loft living but with the privacy of being up in the trees, and old cachet but not to the extent that doorways are crooked -- then this is your place. This apartment straddles 2 areas: the trendy Mile-End and the manicured Outremont. Whichever direction you chose to wander in, you will arrive at a targeted destination within minutes: - Hipster Mile-End shops, cafés, restos on Saint-Viateur - Outremont's stately homes, parks and cafés on Bernard Ave and west - Little-Italy's farmers market - Mount-Royal Park's walking and jogging trails - Plateau-Mont-Royal's storied streets and nooks - McGill Ghetto's vibrant scene We're also close to regular as well as 3 organic supermarkets, 2 wine stores, and all other amenities. Basically, we're central. If walking isn't your thing then there's a Bixi stand at the corner of the street on Querbes (public bikes), as well as easy bus access only blocks away: the 51 on Laurier goes crosstown, and 80 on Parc goes downtown. Key transfers are easily handled through neighbors and/or friends in the area. DISCLAIMER: I live with a blond husky. We try our very best to clean thoroughly but unfortunately there is always the odd hair that escapes our clean! As such this listing is probably not ideal for people with acute allergies to dog hair or dander. NOTE: for guests traveling with their pets, we prefer to not host cats and we prefer to only host one dog at a time rather than pairs or more. Sorry, but two dogs together have more fun but they also tend to bother the neighbors.

we stayed at Duncan's place for a week with our 12 week old baby. The location was fabulous and the space is beautiful, if we would have been travelling before we had our baby it would have been perfect, but as our needs were a bit different, i really missed having appliances like a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and hoover on hand. Duncan was a great host, however, was really responsive and flexible when i realised I'd messed up my dates. Its a great place, just not ideal with a family.

We had a lovely stay in every respect! The apartment itself was great. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The location was excellent in that it was just a short drive to most any place we wanted and also a nice walk to many desirable closer shops and restaurants. In the evenings it was nice to settled down in a quiet, tranquil neighborhood surrounded by large, beautiful trees with views of the sun setting. It was perfect for us!

This property is just steps away from great restaurants and the University of Montreal. It's quite airy and full of light. The only negative is parking, and the tickets are $90 (canadian). Other than that - wonderful and the owner is quite responsive.

We stayed during the hot humid days of summer. Apartment was well situated in a great yet quiet neighbourhood. Checkin process was easy and place was clean and spacious for 2 people. Better suited for a couple than friends, but doable and had everything we needed for an enjoyable 3 day stay. Would definitely stay again! Thanks, Duncan!

Bright, comfortable, 3rd-floor apartment straddling the Outremont/Mile End boundary. Well-situated to experience this vibrant and eclectic neighborhood on foot and very easy access to public transportation to explore the city more broadly. Exceptionally clean & well maintained. Doesn't take long to feel right at home - I’d return!

Well, the ad is accurate and the pictures don't do it justice. It was such a smooth process and easy to communicate with Duncan. The place definitely has a vibe, from the character of the building to the natural light, the living plants and the hardwood floors added character to the place for sure which inspired some creativity (I brought a guitar).
I went to a concert Thursday night and managed to take essential meetings Friday with the highspeed wifi, the balcony was a great little spot to have a drink to unwind after that haha, and just perfect before walking around and exploring Montreal both and by Bixi, the bike system. A must-try. So fun and efficient.
So much to do and close to all sorts of things to do in Montreal. In fact, it inspired a curiosity to look into possibly buying a place in the area or see about staying again if available.
Thanks again Duncan for your hospitality and for sharing your wonderful home. Very memorable stay for a solo traveler like me and would highly recommend it to stay in Montreal.

I rented this loft for my elderly parents while they were visiting me, and they were extremely pleased with their experience. It was clean and comfortable, full of light, and very well located in the neighbourhood. He even welcomed them with a bottle of wine. We would definitely rent the loft again. Thank you Duncan!

Overall a great apartment....
Pros: tons of light, big beautiful plants, nice layout and efficient for working and relaxing. large bathroom, safe building/area, Duncan was a very responsive host, and we loved the area - different vibes to explore in all directions.
Cons: patio furniture needed fixing, some basic appliances not included (TV/Microwave/Dishwasher), we found the bed/pillows a little bit uncomfortable. Street Parking in the neighborhood is not possible.
Personally, still rated this 5 stars as all of the cons are outweighed by the amazing area, beautiful apartment, and great communication from the host.

My husband and I really enjoyed our four nights in Duncan's apartment. Communication and coordination with him was great, and we felt very welcome and comfortable in his place. The apartment is a beautiful space, incredibly bright and cheerful with lots of plants and interesting things, a well-equipped kitchen, and quiet except for a small amount of noise from neighboring units, squeaky floors (which made me more concerned about bothering the neighbor below us), and occasional banging pipes from downstairs. The location is excellent, close to many business areas and parks but on a quiet block across from a school.
Originally, we were to be joined by a friend and her small dog, but they cancelled, which turned out to be just as well as the apartment doesn't really provide good sleeping arrangements for more adults than a bed-sharing couple. (Duncan set up an air mattress in the bedroom, which would have worked but wouldn't have afforded much privacy.)

This was a very good place in which to work, and from which to walk out to explore Montreal and to socialize. Superb for a pedestrian daily experience. Felt very well taken care of by host. Would definitely return.

Duncan has a lovely apartment in a great neighborhood. Unfortunately, one of the features that makes the apartment so lovely - all of the windows and skylights - also makes the apartment very hot on a sunny summer day.
The apartment heated to over 90 degrees several days we were there and there wasn't always air moving outside to provide cross-ventilation. On those days, the apartment didn't cool below the mid-80s at night. Bear this in mind if you're thinking of renting during the summer.

The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. It was bright and airy, located in a great neighbourhood, close to restaurants & grocery stores and a short walk from the mountain.

The apartment was perfect for our long weekend in Montreal. We had big plans to spend time in various parts of town, but we fell in love with the neighborhoods immediately around the apartment. So we ended up going to parks, restaurants, and grocery stores within walking distance and really enjoying the people watching and getting a more authentic view of Montreal than simply going to the must-see tourist spots. The small terrace was perfect for unwinding, resting feet, and listening to the sounds of the neighborhood at the end of the day.

Location was amazing. Great cafes and supermarkets right around the corner. The apartment was very nice and spacious, with a lot of natural light. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I were so taken with this space - we loved the airiness, all the wonderful light, all the fun art, and the welcoming feel. The building is quiet and residential, but is close to great restaurants/shops and is an easy walk or bus/bike commute to downtown, the Plateau, or McGill, our three main destinations. We felt no need for a car. The sounds of schoolkids from across the street made us feel a bit like we were part of the fabric of the neighborhood. The kitchen area is quite small but well laid-out and more than adequate for the few meals we prepared. Duncan is extremely quick to respond to any questions, and willingly accommodated our midnight arrival. Probably our only small negative is that we would have loved loftier pillows (and we found some extra in the closet and made it work). I'm only sad that we only discovered this gem just as our daughter graduates and we lose our excuse to visit Montreal so often... Our thanks for a wonderful haven during an otherwise busy visit!
