Charles’ place was very comfortable and clean. The only thing I would suggest is to BRING EAR PLUGS! You can hear the neighbor above walking around and if you are a light sleeper and enjoys to sleep in, then ear plugs is a must. Also, there are slightly steep stairs going up to the apartment so if you don’t do stairs well, this could be a concern. If you are wondering about renting a car, I would highly recommend using the transit/metro system as it is very quick and easy to use and gets you wherever you want to go without having to worry about parking and parking fees. There is a grocery store close by within walking distance as well as restaurants. A restaurant that we really enjoyed is called AQuinta, which is just down the street. We would not hesitate to stay a Charles’ place again next time we visit Montréal.
