Where to begin. Franco's place was sweet and small, and perfect for me to rest my head at night. It isn't flashy or high-tech, but it doesn't need to be. I had a comfortable, clean spot to store my things and explore the city, and that was plenty for me.
Where this listing really stands out is Franco himself -- he runs a Gnocchi and sauce shop which is connected to the apartment. He's a gem, and made my stay extremely easy and comfortable. I even had the chance to enjoy some free gnocchi during my stay, which was exactly what the doctor ordered after an afternoon spent skating on a local outdoor hockey rink.
I will definitely be booking this place for my next Montreal visit if it's available, and if it isn't, well, I'll be stopping by to see my friend Franco (and to eat the gnocchi -- MIAM!).
