In the laidback Plateau district of Montreal, this apartment in a former textbook printing factory is a stylish and comfortable place to call home. Inside, chic whitewashed spaces are jazzed up with colourful prints and patterned rugs, while the polished, concrete floors serve as a reminder of the abode’s industrial past. Mornings begin slow and steady in the open-plan living space – pour yourself a cup of artisan coffee and cosy up on the plush, tufted sofa. If you’re visiting on business, set up your laptop in the handy resident’s lounge. When it’s time to explore, Rue Saint-Denis, a two-minute walk away, is packed with cool cafes and trendy bars. On warm days, take the leisurely fifteen-minute stroll to La Fontaine Park and picnic by the pond or catch the subway at Mont-Royal to the Old Port and boat along the St. Lawrence River.
