Karim is a laid back guy and easy going, and generous host. he knows the area well and has some cute little guide books to bars, restaurants and attractions, though the writing is so tiny I couldn't quite make it all out. The apartment was exactly as described and so very clean. I had a big party night the first night in Montreal, and it was very cold outside but the apartment was warm and quiet, and having a tub in the bathroom was great so I could soak the hangover away and recover in peace. The wifi was great also, and i was able to park my rental on the property, a huge bonus cuz not really any street parking.
