Expect to say “bonjour” and “merci” countless times in electrifying Montreal, one of North America’s most rewarding and interesting destinations. With a kaleidoscope of distinct neighborhoods to stay in and explore, the Europe-reminiscent Old Town, an absolutely incredible food scene, and plenty of natural areas to explore, it is set to become your favorite place on Earth. At least, that was my case.
As a full-time travel writer, I have been to many cities around the world, but Montreal is something else, an ultimate charmer of a city. For a perfect experience here you need a good accommodation. So here are my recommendations for the best Vrbo rentals in Montreal.
City Chalet in Heart of Plateau and Steps to Downtown
Red brick walls, light-filled open spaces, a modern island kitchen, and a killer location close to Sherbrooke metro and the food spots of Plateau. You’re looking at one of the top Vrbo rentals in Montreal, and many positive reviews prove that. City Chalet is a family-friendly property that caters to parents with children. Also, it has a private street-facing terrace, so you will have a cozy outdoor space for coffee or wine drinking. And while in Montreal, it would be a sin not to visit Schwartz’s Deli. One of Montreal’s most iconic restaurants, Schwartz’s Deli serves the mouthwatering smoked meat sandwich and is just a short walk away from the Vrbo.
Two-Bedroom Central Plateau Apartment Near MTL Zoo
Montreal is a very walkable city. In fact, it may be among the most pedestrian-friendly destinations in the whole of North America. Profit from this to the fullest by staying at this excellent Vrbo in the heart of Plateau. To give you an idea of how vibrant this area is, expect not one, not two, but more than a dozen cafes and restaurants just in the block around your rental. Groups will enjoy lots of space inside this Vrbo; the four bedrooms are no joke. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with guests complimenting the setting, the cleanliness, and great contact with the hosts.
Golden Kiss in Plateau, Terrace & BBQ
Enjoying a barbecue on your private patio while being steps away from all the electric places of Plateau? That’s Golden Kiss, one of the best Vrbo rentals in Montreal. It’s top-floor, extremely spacious, well-reviewed, and perfectly placed. You will love the chic interiors, a fully-equipped kitchen with the newest appliances, the fireplace for cozy evenings, and the washer with a dryer. Eight guests can stay in 3 bedrooms making this apartment an ultimate choice for families looking for a central Montreal stay. Beautifully landscaped Parc La Fontaine is nearby, and the Mont-Royal metro station is a short walk away.
Chic Laurier Three-Bedroom Apartment in Plateau Mile-End with Terrace
Nice vibes await you at Chic Laurier, the ultimate choice for the best Vrbo in Montreal. The interiors are oozing elegance, the appliances are all-new, and the insides are spacious. Amenities are on-point, too; you will have a big HDTV with Roku, free WiFi, a fully-equipped kitchen with a Keurig coffee maker, and a private terrace with BBQ and outdoor lounging potential. What guests loved the most, though, is the location. Once you get to Montreal’s Mile-End, you will understand why. It is full of culinary discoveries, quaint bakeries, fantastic bagels, and cozy coffee shops. Café Olimpico on Rue Saint-Viateur may well serve the best coffee and Italian sweets in MTL. Having a cortado with Sicilian cannolo is what la dolce vita feels like.
Clean Brownstone in Downtown Montreal
With a superb Downtown location, a metro station across the street, and being within walking distance to Concordia and McGill Universities, Old Montreal, and Mount Royal Park (a scenic spot for a selfie), this brownstone house is among the best Vrbo rentals in Montreal. Reviewers raved about the aesthetic interiors, perfect connection with the host, and impeccable cleanliness. Apple TV is a nice perk for streaming lovers, and you have an alkaline water system for more comfort.

Montreal Chateau, 8 Miles from Historic Old Montreal
When in Montreal, it’s hard not to fall for the Old World atmosphere. But how about staying in an actual 19th-century château? This is a unique Vrbo that combines authenticity with modern amenities. It feels grand with the high ceilings, red brick walls, exquisite woodwork, and elegant staircase. In other words, it’s quite a royalty among the Montreal Vrbo rentals that would work ideally for a family reunion, bachelor party, or a group holiday in one of Canada’s best cities to visit. Numbers are impressive at this Vrbo; you’ve got 3,500 square feet of space, five bedrooms, and an accommodating capacity of 12. To make things even more luxurious, you find such welcoming features as a jacuzzi and a sauna in the basement. The location in the upscale Viauville neighborhood adds to the charms, and the metro is close by, so you’re well-connected to the rest of Montreal.
Sunny Top Floor Apartment with Huge Terrace
Breakfast on a private patio is the right way to kickstart the day in Montreal. When the location is the neighborhood of Plateau, minutes away from a plethora of amazing restaurants and coffee shops, it’s even better.

There are four bedrooms that can accommodate up to 12 people, a spacious, fully-equipped kitchen with a Keurig coffee maker, and a 55″ Smart Roku HDTV for watching your favorite shows or sports events.
