Montréal

Hi,

I'm looking for a place to stay this summer for a few weeks to a month, while I look for an apartment.

I remember seeing a post about a b&b/hotel in the Mcgill area that offered rooms on a weekly and monthly basis. I think it was around $300 a week for a room with shared washroom. I've searched the Montreal community memories but can't seem to find the post mentioning their website.

If you know of anything similar please let me know. Looking to spend around $300 a week, area doesn't matter as long as it's near a metro station. Any help is appreciated.

good morning montreal!


i am a torontonian invading your wooonderful city on friday the 14th of november to see eagles of death metal and the duke spirit (!!!!!!!!!).

my amigo and i are looking for a CHEAP yet gross-free hostel/roof/hotel/accommodation near-ish to the venue (saints, 30 ste cath ouest).

we're staying until sunday so we can spend a day doing fun stuff in fun city. any suggestions? we're pretty open to whatever.

also, it'll be my first time being legal in montreal... so recs for sweet bars near saints would also be verrry much appreciated.

thank you!

Unfurnished room for rent in a spacious, unisex, student-occupied apartment in NDG, located on Monkland Street near Metro Villa-Maria. The room measures 11' * 16' (171'sq; plenty of space for artists *hint*!), has hardwood floors, and includes heating, electricity, cable, and internet.

Current occupants are undergrads at Concordia University. Cat-friendly, but no dogs please!

(Pictures of messy bedroom available via e-mail. ^_^)

Hi, I was hoping someone could pitch me a place in Montreal where I can find a minuscule and seriously cheap apartment. Tiny odd corner somewhere. Maybe even a place that's cheaply grungy picturesque in a hippie way that an artist would love. Any ideas? thanks

Bonjour, you lovely bi-linguists!
    This summer I was hoping to come to Montreal for the Just For Laughs festival before I go off to university. The only problem is, I'm a Brit, so most of my meagre savings would have to go on plane tickets.
On the JFL website they mentioned volunteering, but I can't find any other information about it - has anyone here tried it? Do you have to be Canadian? Anyone know if you actually get to see any of the shows? Or (be still my beating heart) they provide any accommodation?
    Sorry if I'm bombarding you with questions - just I've wanted to do this for years : )
 Equally, if you have any advice on staying/eating cheaply in Montreal that would be fantastic.
Thanks for any help!
   

Hello! I know that I'm being rather vague but I am looking for cheap short-term housing in montreal for the spring. Hotels/Hostiles/Hovels etc. Anyone willing to share some info?

Hi


Does anyone know of any good weekend type spa retreat places? Specifically it'll be for 2 people (sharing a room) and I would like lots and lots of massages, places to bathe, and good food included in the package.

If you've had any experience with such retreats, i'd love to hear about them!


Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm planning a bachelor party for a good friend of mine. I'm trying to find a way to do something fun that suits his particular style...I'm trying to avoid just having a regular party at someone's house.

He wants no strippers or dancers, which is fine. He and his other friends aren't the bar or billiards type.

Since they (and myself somewhat) are video game geeks, I was trying to find out if there are any video arcades in Montreal that could be rented out for a few hours for a private event like this (and if its affordable) or something similar.

Any info or suggestions are appreciated.

hey me and a couple of friends are coming into montreal for the Jazz festival and looking for a nice, cheap place to stay in, thats walking distance (preferably) from the festival..

Hello! Salut!
Any of you have any suggestions about this situation?!
Des suggestions pour cette situation??

I have 3 friends (from Czech and Spain) coming over. They would like to live and work here while visiting the city. I'm not sure about the possibility of finding work in Montreal for strangers (who do speak French and English) for 2 months (around mid-june/beginning july). They will have visas. I thought about restaurants... They only need enough money to pay their trips, that's it.

I'm also trying to check out a cheap place to rent for 2 months. Anywhere near a metro would be ok, doesn't even have to be downtown Montreal (cheaper!!!)... Green line? Orange line?

-------- bon, la version francaise -----------------------------------------

J'ai 2 amis d'Espagne et un ami de Czech Republique qui viendrait vers fin juin. Ils aimeraient visiter ET travailler a Montreal pour 2 mois. J'ai aucune idee, mais je pensais que les restos seront la meilleure place a trouver du travail temporaire. Ils vont avoir un visa de travail. Ils ont juste besoin assez d'argent pour payer leur voyage ici, c'est tout.

Je suis pas trop sure non plus du logement. pour 2 mois... C'est quoi la facon la plus economique pour tout ca?

I'm coming to Montreal for the month of August to do some research at the CCA, and am trying to figure out where to live, how much to pay, etc.

I'm really interested in exploring Montreal and seeing all it has to offer while I'm in town -- thus I'd like to live in a busy are with plenty of shopping, bars, restaurants, etc. -- someplace where I feel like I'm in the middle of things. Is this basically the Plateau area? Would the area right around McGill be really quiet/too far away from where things are happening? Are there other neighborhoods that I should check out, keeping in mind that I'll need to go to th CCA every day?

Also, what should I expect to pay for a sublet? I am fine with sharing an apt with others, and have limited funding so am looking for something relatively cheap. I just can't tell what I should be able to get for $400, $600, $800...

Thanks.

Here's question for all you Montrealers
I would like to move out of my parents house (finally, I feel ready at the age of 24) anyhooo, point is, where should I be starting?? what? where? how? etc ...
I dont see myself really living in an apartment as well I kinda see it as a waste of cash, since I will pay rent and pay more rent and then if and when I deciede to move in the end I have nothing ... So I was thinking of purchasing a condo. I have some savings and I dont mind getting a mortage off the bank but once again I am clueless ...
Any tips advice anything really is most definetly appreciated!!!

=)
Thanks a lot in advance!

greetings,

my boy and i would like to spend a couple of romantic days in the Laurentides (Mont Saint-Sauveur etc) for skiiing and such. however, we would prefer not to spend a fortune. can anyone recommend any decent but reasonably priced accomodations? i looked through the memories but didn't find much.

muchas gracias!

Dear Montreal,
I am currently looking for a couch/place to stay from the 14th to the 15th and then from the 19th to the 30th, I will be needing/looking for any assistance for a couple nights or whatever I can be given in that time. I would also be interested in finding a sublet apartment from December to January, as I will be traveling to Central Eastern Europe then, and can be reached at my e-mail anytime: filmbug17@hotmail.com

Thank you for your consideration in reading this e-mail and feel free to pass this on to anybody you think who could provide me with a space / sublet available, let me know.

Sincerely,

Chris Wright

My place of residency I will need to evacuate tomorrow (the 7th) so please get back to me- I have some eggs -I can cook you an omelette- I can also sing jazz songs from the 20's if I have a lyric book in front of me. :) ............. BUT I'm SERIOUS when I say I NEED a PLACE

~Chris

I need a place for 3 weeks of the month and don't have enough to rent an apartment for this time but was wondering if anybody out there can offer a couch/extra bed/basement/a space on the floor (my sleeping bag) for a few nights?
I am congenial, well mannered 21 year old English teacher who is here until the consolate gets back to me about when I can leave for Europe. If you find it in your heart or home to have me it would be much appreciated. I am suggesting 3 days because I don't wish to put anybody out but if you can offer longer that's also cool. You should meet me also. Cool. Thank you

Hello,

I'm planning on heading to Montreal next summer for a month or two. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for reasonably priced accommodations in the downtown area.

Thank you!
