Le Gîte

Montréal


In a row house just off restaurant-lined Rue Prince-Arthur Est, Le Gîte is a charming B&B. The four rooms have polished wood floors, an attractive minimalist design and striking works of art covering the walls (created by the owner’s son). Other nice touches are the small shaded terrace, kitchen use and free laundry. Small discounts from December to April.

On the downside, the one shared bath for guests causes a bit of a traffic jam in the mornings, making Le Gîte less than ideal for longer stays.
