Gilles was extremely helpful with accommodating our early arrival. This was much appreciated. All appliances are new and updated. Extra supplies for the apartment were minimal. We were only given two towels for a weeks stay. Bed and couch are not exactly comfortable. Not to worry if you plan to spend time away from the residence. Roughly 10 minute walk from the Metro, a bit north of downtown. Montreal is a beautiful place with tons of attractions to keep you busy. Would highly recommend the city.
