The 5 Best Furnished Apartments in Montreal for Extended Stays

Living out of a suitcase gets old fast, especially during a home renovation. When my house needed emptying for a six-week project, I hiredfurniture movers to clear it out, then spent the wait in a tiny hotel room that nearly drove me crazy.

A furnished apartment would have given me room to cook, work, and settle in. 

To save you from endless listings, I compared local providers on stay length, in-suite setup, support, and location. Here are the best furnished apartments in Montreal!

How much does a furnished apartment cost in Montreal?

A furnished apartment in Montreal typically costs between 1,250 CAD (Canadian dollars) and 2,900+ CAD per month, depending on the size and the borough.

OptionTypical price
Studio or 1-bedroom1,250 CAD to 1,750 CAD
2-bedroom1,750 CAD to 2,900+ CAD

How I Reviewed

Stay Duration Options: I checked the minimum nights and extension rights at each property. Work projects and renovations rarely run on a fixed schedule, so flexible terms matter.
In-Suite Setup: I looked at which units include a full kitchen, laundry machines, and a proper workspace. You should be able to settle in without buying household basics.
Support and Assistance: I favoured companies that bundle bills and offer guest services, housekeeping, or newcomer help. That saves you time on utility setups and repairs.
Location and Transit: I mapped each building’s distance to metro lines, campuses, and hospitals. A long commute in winter traffic can ruin the convenience of temporary housing.

1. Corporate Stays – Montreal – Furnished Executive Apartment

corporate-stays-montreal-furnished-executive-apartment

Website: corporatestays.com/cs-locations/canada/furnished-short-term-apartment-rentals-montreal/
Address: 2100 Rue de Bleury
Contact: +1 514-277-6464
Hours: Monday-Sunday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Support Available 24/7

Setting up internet and utilities in a new city can eat up your first week. 

Corporate Stays removes that chore by rolling high-speed Wi-Fi and building amenities into one monthly invoice. This keeps expense reports simple and surprise fees away.

The units run from 538 to 1,200 square feet, so you get far more room than a hotel offers. 

Each one has a dedicated ergonomic workspace, so you can start morning video calls without balancing a laptop on your knees.

Families with pets aren’t left out either, since pets are welcome, which spares you from leaving a dog or cat behind.

Keep in mind that checking in before noon triggers a fee equal to the previous night’s full rate, which stings if you land on a morning flight. 

Cancelling within 30 days also costs a full month of rent, so only book if your dates are firm.

Pros

  • Dedicated ergonomic workspaces
  • Bundled monthly billing
  • Building amenities included
  • Pet-friendly for cats and dogs

Cons

  • Full-night fee for early check-ins
  • Full month’s rent for cancelling within 30 days

Impeccable Service and Prompt Support

Corporate stays has been our go-to whenever we needed a furnished, reliable apartment. We keep coming back times and times again for the impeccable service. We always dealt with Jihane for booking, and this stay she went above and beyond to help us with a couple of hiccups that we encountered during our stay (lost apartment keys, lost packages etc). Her help was prompt, efficient and very kind. Thank you Jihane for making our stay very enjoyable, and we look forward to booking our next stay.

Great Downtown Experience at Exceptional Price

Had a great experience with a furnished Corporate Stays apartment in downtown Montreal when I recently visited for 8 days. The apartment was clean and very nice, and the price was exceptional (so much so I was initially concerned it might not be a legitimate booking). The booking was indeed legit and I have only positive things to say. Directions for check-in/check-out were clear and customer support (including from Jihane El Ouafi) was also excellent. I’d 100% book again.

2. Gesthab

gesthab

Website: gesthab.ca
Address: 1001 Rue Lucien-L’Allier
Contact: +1 800-251-0702 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday-Saturday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Being handed a lockbox code in a building you’ve never seen is a rough start to a stay. Gesthab greets you in person instead, then walks you through the apartment systems and points out the nearest transit lines and pharmacies. 

That hands-on welcome helps digital nomads and international arrivals find their feet fast.

Each suite also has a full kitchen and in-suite laundry, so you can cook and wash clothes from day one. 

Plus, unlimited internet with no data throttling keeps remote meetings smooth.

A friend of mine booked the VIP (Very Important Person) Package to ease a hectic move. She got early check-in, weekly housekeeping, and a welcome basket with wine, so she could relax the moment she dropped her bags.

The catch is the up-front cost. You pay the first month’s rent, an exit cleaning fee, and a security deposit all at once.

They also enforce a strict 31-night minimum stay.

Pros

  • In-person neighbourhood orientations
  • Unlimited high-speed internet
  • In-suite laundry machines
  • Turnkey equipped kitchens

Cons

  • 31-night minimum stay
  • Heavy upfront payments

Spotless Unit and Terrific Experience

I rented a unit in Tour des Canadiens 1 from Gesthab and it was a terrific experience. The apartment was spotless and fully stocked with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Service and responsiveness was always prompt and professional. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a furnished apartment in the heart of downtown. Thank you Gesthab!

Easy Booking and Helpful Team

I went to Montreal for 1 and 1/2 month in July an August. I contacted with Gesthab. I booked the apartment in March (I stayed at Myriade 209). All the process was very easy. All the team members I interacted with: Andre, Victoria and Alejandro, were great. They made everything simple for me. The check-in and check-out process was very easy, and I did a late check-out for a reasonable price. I fully recommend Gesthab if you are looking for a short-term furnished apartment in Montreal. I will definitely use it again if I come back.

3. Montréal Furnished Apartments

Website:montrealfurnishedapartments.com
Address: 3247 Av. Appleton
Contact: +1 514-887-8885 | [email protected]
Hours: Available 24/7

Hauling heavy bags through an unfamiliar city is a bad start to a semester abroad. Montréal Furnished Apartments solves this with an airport pickup that takes you straight to your door. 

They also offer settlement help for newcomers to Canada, which makes them a natural pick for international students and academics.

Most of their properties sit in Côte-des-Neiges, close to universities and major hospitals like Sainte-Justine, so campus and clinic visits are short.

The suites are built for longer stays too. Every unit has its own washer and dryer, so you never haul laundry to a shared basement.

They also help homeowners find temporary housing when emergency repairs make their own homes unlivable.

On the flip side, their footprint is small, and none of the listings are downtown or on the Plateau. 

Their Laval options add extra transit time too, so this works best if your days revolve around campuses or medical centres in their core district.

Pros

  • Dedicated airport pickup service
  • Newcomer relocation guidance
  • Close to major medical institutions
  • Post-disaster housing coordination

Cons

  • Limited neighbourhood selection
  • Laval options add extra transit time

Compassionate Support During Urgent Need

My brother had a fire in his apartment and we urgently needed a place for him and my mom. This furnished apartment service was absolutely amazing. From the first call, they were compassionate, fast, and very professional.

The apartment was spotless, fully furnished, warm, and very comfortable – it truly felt like home during a very stressful time. Everything was ready for them to just arrive and rest. Great location in Montreal and excellent communication.

I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and support when we needed it most. Highly, highly recommend for anyone needing a temporary furnished apartment.

Welcoming Hosts and Excellent Stay

We had an excellent stay in Montreal. Our hosts, Mr.Walid and his wife Mrs.Donia, were welcoming and very supportive, providing us with helpful advice about the city. The apartment was spotless, well-furnished, and equipped with all the essentials. The location is ideal, close to restaurants and supermarkets and parks my kids loved it. We highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Montreal.

4. Rent It Furnished

Website: rentitfurnished.com/montreal
Address: #17088 2001 Blvd Robert-Bourassa
Contact: 514 977 9890
Hours: Monday-Sunday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Even a good mattress from one of the best mattress stores in Montreal is a poor buy when you only plan to stay a year. Rent It Furnished spares you that cost with Canada’s largest selection of high-end, fully equipped homes. 

They’ve placed tenants since 2009, so you tap into a proven network instead of a risky peer-to-peer vacation board.

Their tenant consulting is free, so you can browse luxury condos across 26 neighbourhoods without paying placement fees. 

The whole process also runs online, so you can apply, sign your lease, and pay through one secure portal, which saves trips across town.

That said, this is a self-serve platform, so no agent will take you on in-person tours. 

They also don’t manage the properties, so you deal directly with the owner whenever something breaks.

Pros

  • Zero tenant placement fees
  • Streamlined digital leasing portal
  • Largest furnished rental selection
  • Established track record since 2009

Cons

  • No agent-led property showings
  • No direct property management

Fast and Helpful Service

I had a pleasure to work with Nicole. She is amazing and she works incredibly fast. We were on a tight schedule during our moving between cities and we had specific requirements for an apartment. Nicole answered all our questions and was very helpful overall.

Thank you, Nicole and rent it furnished!

5. La MARQ

Website: themarq.ca/apartments-for-rent/the515_1430_rue-city_councillors
Address: 1430 Rue City Councillors
Contact: 1-844-802-6081
Hours: Customer Care Centre: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM | Saturday-Sunday, 10:00 AM – 6:30 PM | Leasing: Monday-Friday, 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM | Saturday-Sunday, 12:30 PM – 4:00 PM

Off-campus housing often means random roommates and a crowded hallway kitchen. 

La MARQ offers a way around that with group leasing for two- to five-bedroom suites near McGill and Concordia, a short walk from the downtown campuses. 

Friend groups can lock in a furnished apartment together without the usual landlord headaches.

Instead of tiny dorm rooms, the shared suites span up to 1,800 square feet, so there’s room for study sessions.

Plus, they offer a private kitchen inside each suite.

Rent also bundles Wi-Fi, heat, and electricity, so nobody has to chase roommates to split unpredictable utility bills. That also means no surprise heating bill in winter.

The catch is that even a five-bedroom suite has only two bathrooms, so morning rushes before class get congested. 

Parking in the underground lot also adds a steep 260 CAD per month.

Pros

  • Move-in ready student furnishings
  • Bundled monthly utility pricing
  • Walkable to downtown university campuses
  • Private in-suite kitchen setups

Cons

  • Underground parking costs 260 CAD monthly
  • Only two shared bathrooms per suite

Customer Reviews

Convenient Location and Helpful Staff

Living in La Marq has it’s ups and downs – as per every student residence that you live in. The location is a super convenient given that you’re close to grocery stores, coffee shops and other major attractions downtown. The rooms come furnished and depending on which side of the building you live, you’ll have a really nice view. The staff is also what makes La Marq a good place to start out to live when moving to Montreal.

Fully Furnished Living with Great Community

Everything in the apartment is furnished with all utilities included. In the bedroom, it comes with a comfy double bed, desk, dresser and drawers. In the living room, there are couches, TV, and a dining table. All you need to bring/buy would be your own bed sheets and pillows, as well as dishes/cutlery which can be easily arranged with your roommates! I have to say my favourite thing about living in La Marq is all the diverse people you get to meet! In one year, I’ve had roommates from Australia, Ireland, France, Portugal and the Middle East.
