We were greeted with a clean, bright and open apartment in Montreal. Mazen was helpful sorting out parking issues and help with the washer also. Lots of coffee (but no tea) to drink. The place seemed very new and in good condition. It was a great location, just a 15 minute walk to the old town, and you could walk north to other fun areas - the 3 giants circus show was on half a block up the street! My parents loved the little patio for people watching. Another person mentioned the noise, but we didn't notice it. We weren't there on a weekend though but didnt seem like an issue at all. Full grocery store one block away also. Photos didn't exactly match the apartment, but very similar in style (not an issue).
