This small pension offers quite unique accommodations that are sure to please those who want to experience Montreal’s alternative subculture. Located on the edges of the Plateau and the Mile End (two of the trendiest neighborhoods in the city – you’ll likely meet typical Montrealers – hipsters, musicians, dead broke artists who speak French, English, and Spanish all during the same conversation…at the Pensione (and the Casa del Popolo). Live musical venues are often featured on the ground floor and access is free for guests of the Pensione.
