If you have the chance to stay in Yan's flat - absolutely do it.
The location is perfect and the flat itself is charming and ideal for both quick, fun city breaks and longer stays.
We were blessed with perfect weather during our month there so loved hanging out in the courtyard during the days with coffee, pastries and wine. The flat has absolutely everything one could hope or wish for and is stylish to boot!
You're a stones throw away from public transport and bixi bikes to reach other areas of the city and in walking distance of the trendy Mile End and Mont Royal, not to mention a plethora of beautiful parks. You're also about a two minute walk from a great little organic shop that stocks everything you'll need food-wise.
Yan was a wonderful and kind host who was extremely responsive both during the run up to our trip and during as well. He was always full of good tips and things to do around the city and even lent us his own mosquito repellent for our 3 nights we spent out in the woods. Yan is an absolute gent and we feel very lucky to have met him and even luckier that he was our host.
Couldn't recommend this accommodation more :)
