THE NOMAD SAINT JACQUES, Montreal

The property sits on Saint Jacques Street, placing it within a block of Notre Dame Basilica and a short stroll to the Old Port of Montreal (2 km from Clock Tower Beach). The area is densely packed with restaurants, cafes and shops - at least eight dining options are within 300 metres, including a highly regarded breakfast spot on the ground floor. The Orange line metro station is a few minutes on foot, making it easy to reach the Plateau, Mile End, Jean Talon Market or the Biodome. Central Station is walkable, and fixed-rate taxis from the airport are a reasonable option. The surrounding streets feel safe and are well-lit at night.

Units range from studios to multi-bedroom apartments (2-5 beds) with 1-2 bathrooms, including penthouses with 2 full bathrooms and an additional powder room. Each apartment is air-conditioned and has a washing machine and dryer, a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, oven, toaster and cookware, plus a tea and coffee maker. The living areas are bright with high ceilings, large windows and modern furnishings. The Penthouse units are particularly recommended for their private loft bedrooms, extra bathroom space and panoramic views. The building is quiet despite its central location, and keypad entry allows for seamless self-check-in.

The ground-floor restaurant is a popular brunch and dinner spot, offering a convenient option without needing to leave the building. For broader choice, at least eight restaurants are within 300 metres, including L'Orignal, Brasserie 701, Dandy, Bonaparte, Chez Delmo, Fibo Resto Loft, and L'Assommoir Notre-Dame, covering French, Italian and local cuisine. Each apartment also has a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering, suitable for families or groups who prefer to cook at home.

The Old Port area, reachable in 8 minutes on foot, provides seasonal outdoor activities: ice-skating rinks in the winter and boating or pedal-boat rentals in the summer. Clock Tower Beach is 2 km away. The apartment's central location also places it close to walking tours, the Notre Dame Basilica and other cultural landmarks, but on-site leisure facilities such as a pool, spa or gym are not available.

High-speed Wi-Fi is available at no charge throughout the property, with a Netflix account provided in each unit. The building has a lift, making it accessible for those with heavy luggage. A luggage storage option is available depending on the schedule for the same day. Housekeeping is done before arrival and after departure, but daily servicing is not standard. The property is secured with keypad entry, smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Discover and MasterCard. Bikes can be kept inside the unit.
