Ben is a thoughtful, responsive host, and his apartment is centrally located and well set up for guests. The kitchen is well stocked if you would like to cook, the bed is very comfortable, and the living room and bedroom is spacious. One block away are Bixi bikes and multiple cafes, and a 25 minute walk will get you nearly anywhere in the city. It's a great home base for any length trip to Montreal, and especially if you would like to be close to the vibrant Rue Saint-Catherine. And, Ben is great at giving recommendations for just about anything in the city. I would definitely stay here again.
