I stayed for a couple of days at Kirsten and Julian's place. It was a great stay: the room was clean, every morning breakfast was provided and in case I had any questions, Kirsten and Julian were always keen to help. The apartment is also in a very good location. It is nearby the city center and in case you don't feel like walking (about 30 minutes) it is possible to take a bike. The neighborhood is quite calm and residential, which makes it a nice alternative to the busy center. If your searching for a place in Montreal, this is a great option!!
