This property had everything I imagined and more. This beautifully renovated home had a gorgeous kitchen, beautiful modern bathrooms and had a very fresh new vibe to it. It was like walking into a New York City type condo. Walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants and bars was a plus. Plenty of free parking made things so much easier as well.

If you're looking for a little getaway to either take in a hockey game or just visit the city, this is the place to stay. The price was right and I much rather stay this beautiful home than a hotel.

2 thumbs way up!

Owner's Response: We are happy that our penthouse exceeded your expectations, Norm. We just want to underline that our property is not a condo. It is an historic cottage from 1880 completely renovated better than new in the period 2004-2013 using the latest Green technologies and standards available. We founded in 2004 and are still running the first Green Building management firm in Quebec. We recently contracted a third-party evaluation of the property. Cost of construction came out at about 1.2M$. As real-estate professionals, we have never heard of a developer in Montreal or in New York that would spend 1.2M$ for buidling a condo. Our property is way beyond even a luxury condo. Ask an architect and he will confirm. Have a great day !

Beautiful place

Very nice place to get way for few days. The Penthouse at the gate of mount looks just like on the pictures, very clean and beautiful. It is very quiet place, I did not hear a single noise which I was looking for at the beginning. I did not have hard time to park my car in Montreal for the first, so that was a big plus. I will go back to this place again, but next time with some friends because it is a lot of space and beds. I will recommend to anyone who is looking for a luxury, and spacious place in the heart of Montreal.
Thank you,
Jennifer Campbell

Really nice Penthouse suite close to Saint-Laurent

Submitted: November 20, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Very nice place to stay, very close to Saint-Laurent for great food and good nightlife. The suite was cozy, lots of place to sleep, fully functioning kitchen and nice rooftop balcony. It is an easy $10 cab ride to downtown. Provigo is only two blocks away and a SAQ across the street from Provigo, almost one stop shopping. There was traffic on Saint Urbain but you couldn't hear a thing inside the suite. Overall a very good experience.

Our group of university friends from Ontario and the East Coast wanted to reunite in Montreal for a weekend, so we decided to rent an apartment instead of staying at a hotel. This was my first time renting, and it was the best decision that we could have made! The Penthouse was beautiful, clean and spacious enough for 9 girls to comfortably stay. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was stocked with the necessary pots and pans for cooking, and rooftop terrace was fantastic as well. The space was more suitable for visiting than a hotel would have been and it was much less expensive as well. The location was great – there is a grocery and liquor store within walking distance (5 minutes) which was very convenient. We were interested in shopping on St Catherine’s street which was only a short cab drive away (the cost was appx $10.00) Tierry was a fantastic host – he quickly replied to any inquiries that I had and made us feel very welcome. I would certainly highly recommend this rental property.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the nice comments. You seem to have enjoyed shopping on Saint Catherine street. Our penthouse is adjacent to Saint Laurent Boulevard (the Main) which is a great shopping destination with cafes, restaurants and nightlife as a bonus. Saint Denis which is considered the most touristic street in Montréal is at a 5 minutes walking distance only. Thanks for staying with us !

A roomy apartment in a trendy part of Montreal

4 of 5
Submitted: November 16, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
We had a lovely time at this apartment. We were a family of four, two adults and two children. The apartment is in a very trendy part of Montreal, with the lovely Mont Royal park in one direction, and lots of interesting shops and restaurants in the other.

It is a long (3-4 km) walk to the commercial centre, but Montreal has good public transport, so as long as you can figure out how the buses work, you can get anywhere very easily. The city bike share scheme has bikes nearby, which is good if you are a group of adults (no use for children).

The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves for a week and there was a good supermarket just over a block away.

The only reason we haven't given the apartment the fifth star was the shower. It was not a stand up shower, but rather a handheld shower head in a roomy bath with no shower curtain or screen. For us, if a description says there is a shower, you should be able to have a stand up shower.

Check in and check out was very organized, with a combination code to access the key, which was good, as we had to leave for the airport at five in the morning, so didn't want a complex checkout process.
