I stayed at Eric's place with two other friends while we were attending a conference in Montreal. The location was absolutely perfect - we were right near the subway station so getting around the city was easy for us, but the neighbourhood itself was full of restaurants and shops, so we didn't have to venture far to find fun places to go after the conference. Eric was very accommodating, and extremely responsive. The apartment itself was spacious and clean, and had a cute little balcony. The only drawback to this apartment is the fact that it is above a pretty lively bar which hosted a DJ one of the nights we were there. Although the bar was a fun place to grab a drink, the music could be heard pretty loudly in the apartment at night.
