I stayed in Marina's place for a couple of weeks. Her apartment was absolutely perfect for my needs. It was impeccably clean, very well appointed and cozy. The location is perfect: a few steps both from the metro, and from one of the main shopping and restaurant streets in the western part of the city. Check-in was a breeze, and communication with Marina was always fast, courteous and efficient. I'm a Montrealer, and don't usually need a place to stay in my own city, but if the circumstances arose again, I would most definitely check to see if Marina's place was free.
