Great value and location. Alexandre's place is located right by the Joliette subway which makes commuting around MTL a breeze. The stay was quiet and clean. There are a bunch of local bars nearby that are great for bar hoppers. Some trendy restaurants I would recommend are La Valois nearby. Poutine Grand Centrale is also excellent.
As a tip, his place can get very hot in the summer since there is no AC. Be prepared to sweat if it's more than 26 degrees Celsius. Alexandre provides fans, but it's not nearly as effective as AC. Overall, you will enjoy this stay as it is great value in a good neighborhood.
