Move-day plan that actually works
- Pack most items the night before checkout.
- Use luggage storage/transfer for the midday gap.
- Choose one activity close to your transfer route.
- Confirm check-in window and entry details in advance.
When a split stay is worth it
- You want two distinct vibes (e.g., Old Montreal + Plateau).
- Your trip is long enough to justify one move.
- You want to reduce daily transit time by changing base.
What to avoid
- Stacking many activities on move day.
- Long cross-city detours with luggage.
- Unclear check-in instructions for second stay.
