Experience Unique Stays at 4th Space Mile-End

About 4th Space Mile‑End

4th Space Mile‑End is inspired by family‑run homestays in Vietnam and casas familiares in Colombia and Mexico, where visitors share everyday space with hosts rather than slipping anonymously through a hotel lobby. In Montreal’s Mile End neighborhood, this idea becomes two small, intentionally kept accommodations for artists, researchers, and other culture workers who need a calm, affordable base for short‑term stays.

The idea is built around human connection and everyday comfort: a self‑contained two‑bedroom apartment for those who want full privacy, and a private room in a shared flat for guests who prefer a more communal, homestay‑style experience. Both are lived‑in, cozy environments, shaped by the host’s presence and care rather than by a generic rental formula.

By borrowing from the warmth and informality of homestays and casas familiares, 4th Space Mile‑End offers a way to arrive in Montreal that feels grounded in a real neighborhood, with a real person nearby, while still giving guests the space and quiet they need to focus on their work.

Your Host

Hi, I’m your host, Denise.

I’ve spent more than twenty years working in arts administration and fundraising with community organizations and artists, and often work remotely, so I understand how a space can make or break an experience.

I speak English, French, Spanish, and German, and I travel a lot for both work and joy, so I understand what it’s like to arrive tired in a new city and just want somewhere calm, clear, and welcoming to land.

At 4th Space Mile‑End, you can expect a lived‑in, cozy environment rather than a polished, anonymous rental. I encourage artistic expression and engagement in all of the spaces, and I love live music – there are often small shows in the yard when the weather allows. During your stay, you can count on a quiet home base, practical support when you need it, and a gentle invitation to connect with the neighborhood and its creative life at your own pace.
