The Beaubien station is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Rosemont--La Petite-Patrie. It…read moreserves the Orange Line. The station opened on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the Metro. This station is named for Beaubien Street, named for a prominent French-Canadian family of landholders, public figures, and professionals. Walking distance from the metro station, you can find Plaza Saint-Hubert, the Canadian Citizenship Court, the CLSC La Petite Patrie and Esperanto Society of Quebec. Rue St Hubert, located just a few yards away, is a very busy commercial and shopping street with lots of ethnic stores and restaurants.....Hispanic, African, Caribbean, Asian, etc....

There's no reception desk and you check in to the hotel and your room with a code that's emailed to you. There's a lobby with coffee and on Sundays, some pastries, and laundry machines in the hallways. The rooms themselves are like mini apartments. There's small kitchenettes and nice bathrooms with rainfall showers. TVs come equipped with AppleTV's and there's reliable and fast Wifi. Walls are a bit thin though. My next door neighbours were binge watching The Office which I was reminded of every time the opening played. It's a 5 minute stumble home from 3AM La Banquise poutine and next door to a fancy meal at Au Pied du Cochon. It's 5 minutes from the Sherbrooke subway station and next to the beautiful Parc Lafontaine. It's a great location in the Plateau and out of the really touristy areas. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. While there wasn't a check in counter, it didn't feel impersonal at all.

However, I feel for the price, you could do better-- and I wish they were more communicative about the problems that they had encountered to prep the guests for their visit. I did write a review through Airbnb, and I will relay the content through there, as well as add pictures to describe what happened. Per my Airbnb review: "The location is wonderful, apartment is a good crash pad... However, the A/C was not working as advertised, and they were aware of the issue beforehand due to a fire. Since A/C was essential during a hot summer, they were nice enough to bring a fan, however, they DID know about the issue beforehand and they could have warned us so we could have made alternate arrangements, or they could have offered more for the inconvenience. They had limited amenities-- no hand soap, for instance, though there was dish washing soap, and shower gel. While they were nice, and somewhat timely, it was difficult to reach them if it was urgent (my calls usually went to voicemail.) Some doors were not working (entrance) or they were hard to open. They should be able to keep their properties updated better, as well as updating their potential guests about issues that may arise. While the location was great, given the inconvenience, I would hesitate in rebooking unless they were extremely specific about updates re: amenities." So let me update with what happened: We booked this apartment due to the location, and the amenities. Due to medical conditions, I tend to run unreasonably hot and therefore, I usually book places that have air conditioning. We booked it, given that the apartment looked nice and featured air conditioning. As soon as we stepped into the unit, there was no "welcome booklet" provided from the company (we had to look downstairs in the lobby for their quick check in sheet), as well as the A/C unit itself was not working. We quickly told them this, and they were nice enough to send a maintenance man over the next day. The maintenance man came over and then told us he did not know how to fix it, after trying a couple solutions. After letting them know about the result, they went out of their way to message us, telling us that the problem was connected to something that they knew about beforehand. Yes, I understand a fire is out of your control, but this is your property. If you knew it would affect the units, why wouldn't you remedy this by providing this information to guests that you are renting the units out to, or offering to place them in a different location? I don't think that's unreasonable, and most places providing service of that caliber would think of solutions. They did provide us with a fan, which I noted in my original review-- was great on them. However, it wasn't enough to provide us with a comfortable sleep. I find it funny that they kept citing outside temperatures and that we should be able to sleep comfortably. Unfortunately, even with the windows open, apartments can be well isolated and since there is no wind, it can still cause apartments to be hot. With the fan on, while they cited 18 C temperatures, it was, in fact (due to their wall units and the temperatures we had seen) actually 24 - 26 C consistently in the apartment. None of the support people were even on property as this is a self-serviced apartment, so I believe they are just trying to save face. After reading their airbnb review (saying I was "unfair and trying to demand more money even though so and so") I would never stay here again. Despite their paltry refund of 10% and a complimentary night stay-- why would I stay at a place that knew about the problems, and then didn't try to remedy them beforehand? And then, additionally, why would I stay after they wrote me a bad review with false information? This would have been a 2-3 star review due to excellent location and cleanliness. But their service is severely lacking. You could do better.

They obviously take pride in it! Extremely convenient location right in the heart of Vieux Montreal; lots of shopping, great restaurants, directly across the street from the port, and just steps away from Rue St. Paul and points of interest. Our streetside room overlooked the port and was very quiet, with a view. I called with a question before our stay and the gentleman was very courteous and helpful. Price was very reasonable. As it is still off-season (mid-April) I'm not sure if any of this would be different during summer peak. Yes, you need to park off-site as you would anywhere else in old Montreal, but the Grand Quay parking is right across the street, very safe and convenient and at $35 CD for 24 hours, very reasonable. Yes, this is an "AirBnB -type accommodation" where you need to make your own bed and hang up your own towels, as some have stated. But this was right up there as one of the top AirBnB experiences I have ever had! Our kids and friends rented an AirBnB in the building right next door, and our place was sooo much nicer, cleaner, modern than theirs (was very run down) and I am very glad we chose to book this one. I truly can't say enough good things about our experience, highly recommend it and will definitely look to stay here again on any future trips to Montreal!

I've since recommended this to every friend who is visiting Montreal.

There were a few times when we were taking this tour that we ran into volunteers (or people who work for the company who created this tour) asking us if we had any questions about using the app on our phone or if we had any questions about the tour itself. I thought this was a great touch. The one small complaint I had was the amount of time it took to download the audio at each stop within the app. There has to be a way to compress the audio file to speed up the download time.

We had booked an extremely tight connection in Zurich each way (under an hour) and were worried that we'd have to go through customs there before continuing on, as we did on our way to Venice last year when we had a layover in Madrid. Nope, not here. The Zurich airport is one the most efficient I have seen. We simply took a tram from one terminal to the next, which took us about 15 minutes gate to gate. We arrived in plenty of time for our connection on the way over. On the way back, we still had enough time, but we were about 10 minutes late in landing at Zurich (due to high traffic) so then they held our plane to Chicago for 15 minutes to allow other delayed passengers to board. Combining that with a delay in landing at O'Hare (again due to traffic) we were about 20 minutes late in total. Still not that bad though. Service was excellent on all flights. On the way there we moved to an empty 4-person row so I could stretch out. They served plenty of food (and it was pretty tasty, with some swiss chocolates) and lots of drinks and provided free headphones for use with the free seatback entertainment systems that had a great selection of movies and tv shows. Based on the great service, ease of connection in Zurich (where I think pretty much all their flights from Chicago connect) and the low price, I would definately chose Swiss air again.
