As Joseph already points out in the title of this page, this is truly it. What you get is a spacious, well-decorated, clean home-from-home, in a very friendly and nice neighborhood of Montreal. This neighborhood, Le Plateau, is home to many restaurants and nice shops, and is in my opinion a much nicer way to spend time in Montreal than going downtown is. Le Plateau's main street, Rue Mont-Royal, is literally just around the corner from this apartment, and the short walk there through characteristic Plateau-streets isn't bad either.
Joseph, who lives just next door, was a very friendly and helpful host. He even put two folders full of information on the best places to shop and eat, on the Montreal metro system, and so on.
The only downside is the (for us Europeans) huge fridge in the middle of the room. It seemed unnecessary to have so much cooling space for a few days, the fridge was really disturbing the room's otherwise fine decoration, and the fridge was noisy at night. It would be truly great if it was replaced by a smaller exemplar placed in the kitchen. But hey, that a fridge is the only downside just says it all: this is a very, very good place. And, by the way, Joseph made sure that there was cool water and a few beers in the fridge too when we arrived. Great! I think this is it.
