Our party of 6 had a very comfortable stay in Verdun at Ebrahim’s house. The 4 bedroom apartment is spacious, very clean and has a lot of modern conveniences.
1)The apartment
The washer dryer in the basement was great, the BBQ and back yard was a great a great place to relax. We sat on the front porch during a rain storm. There was so much space to spread out it was great. We watched cable TV, played cards in the dining room and cooked meals in the kitchen. The wifi was great and the neighbors were pleasant and quiet.
2)Location
The apartment was in a great location for everyone. We ran in the St. Laurent park acrodd the raod. You can rent bixi bikes and cycle all over Montreal. There are resuaurants, small grocery stores and shops within walking distance. Verdun is multicultural, and has lots of nice little shops. The metro is a 7 minute walk and my 7 year old twins did it every day. The metro is convenient and a 10 journey pass is $24. We saw all the sights through the metro.

The public pool (2.50 for adults, 1.25 for children) is just down the road. It’s a nice place to cool off and it easy to get to on foot or by car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdun_Natatorium
We would recommend the Biodome, the botanical garden, the rooftop terraces downtown, the old town clock tower beach, the Jean-Talon and Atwater markets, McGill University and it was an easy overnight trip to Old Quebec City (3 hours by train)

3)The landlord
Ebrahim was an amazing landlord. He helped us out with all of our questions. He texted me during the week , to check in. We asked for more glasses and a knife and he delivered them the next day.

Overall I would highly recommend a stay here. No complaints, just a very happy vacation
