Description

The Château Dufresne is located in Montreal, near the Olympic Stadium. It's an old heritage building that bears witness to Montreal's history. To move between floors, a guide must operate the elevator to reach the 3rd floor, but you can navigate independently from the 3rd floor. At the entrance to each room, there's a 2 to 3 cm threshold. The bathroom offers little space for a sideways transfer to the toilet. The outside garden is not accessible due to steps. There are no reserved parking spaces.
