We loved Joseph's apartment! It is perfectly located in the Plateau neighborhood and made a great base for exploring the city during our 4 night stay. The apartment looks just like the pictures, and the coffee machine, the super hot water, the backyard bbq grill, and the firm mattress were delightful ways to begin and end our days in the city.

We fell in love with Montreal as we explored on bike (Bixi rental plus metro rental were THE way to see the city during beautiful summer days). The old city, Jean Talon market, Mont Royal park, and other sites are easily accessible, but our favorite part was just wandering through the Plateau and Mile End neighborhoods.

Joseph left a great guide to the city and his recommendations didn't lead us wrong: burgers at L'Anecdote, bread and pastries at Mr. Pinchot, and smoked meat at Schwartz's were affordable and delicious.

Montreal is a fabulous city, and this was the perfect place from which to see it. We just wish we had stayed longer!
