Howard's place is huge and immaculate. I have never stayed in a place so clean. The bed was super comfy. The location is great, just 5 min walk from the train station and Notre Dame. What a great city Montreal is. I suggest you check with Howard re the on-going construction work. The neighbourhood is - like most of the city - simultaneously being torn down and re-built. There was a lot of disruptive construction going on while we were there.
