Julien's apartment is just like the photos - great kitchen with Nespresso machine, several comfortable seating areas, and wonderful sleeping accommodations. Extra pillows and blankets were available for a chilly night. The bathroom is well-equipped with a big shower and plenty of hot water. The neighborhood is wonderful for exploring, and the apartment is located well for visiting all parts of Montreal.
In addition, Julien responds to texts with lightning speed, and is very kind and accommodating - for instance, we were able to leave our bags at the apartment on our final day until it was time to leave for the airport.
However, it would be helpful to have some resources for tourists in the apartment in the way of house rules written down, suggested places to eat in the immediate neighborhood, how to get to public transportation, guidebooks, maps, etc. This would have been useful.
Finally, we did not sleep well at Julien's place because he has two young children (2 and 4 at the time of this review), who were up very (very!) early in the mornings. We recognize that young children will play and make noise, but we did not expect this based on the information in the listing. While we made every effort to keep the noise level down after 9:00 pm as requested, Julien's apartment might not be suitable for guests who want to stay out late at night and then wish to sleep in later in the mornings.
