We had a really great stay at Nicki's place.
We loved the location, very central, very interesting, and very easy to walk to various parts of Montreal. Bixi bikes were also a few steps away from the apartment.
The décor of Nicki's place is eclectic and well thought out. The small reading area is super cool, as is the little deck out of the back door. The apartment is non-cluttered and very comfortable, as are the bedrooms. We all slept really as the apartment is really quiet!
The apartment is older, so a climb up some steep stairs is required. As well, the bathroom (toilet room) is very small (which is mentioned in the description so it was not a surprise) and might be a challenge for a larger person.
I would definitely recommend this apartment as a great place to stay if you are looking to explore and 'be a part of' Montreal.
