My husband and I went to Montreal to study and spent a month at Alex-Maria´s studio and we simply loved the experience. First of all, they were always available to answer any question, even before we arrived, and they are so nice! The place matches perfectly the description and it is very cozy and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. It is located in a good neighborhood of Montreal, close to lots of restaurants, grocery stores, laundry, bus stop, etc. Can do pretty much everything walking or biking.
Definitely would be back.
