Benjamin's place is really nice and comfortable, and has an efficient layout. It ended up being larger than expected and the couch was very comfortable--both pluses given that we were traveling with an infant. The kitchen is modern and provides most of the things you need to make a nice meal. Parking in the rear is a plus but a bit tight. Sedans and small SUVs are no problem but anything larger could be challenging. Not a deal-breaker but something to be aware of. The back stairs are spiral, which is common in Montreal but tricky with a young child. Again, not a deal-breaker at all but something to know about going in. The main/front door on Rue St.-Denis is easier and a better choice for everyday building access. Finally, the location is spectacular. We spent a good portion of our week-long stay on foot, and Rue St.-Denis connects you to some great neighborhoods; the Metro is also only a block away. Square St.-Louis is a nice amenity right across the street, and there's a great pedestrian-only street (Rue Prince-Arthur) a very short walk from the apartment with a great coffee shop (Nous Sommes Cafe). I highly recommend Benjamin's apartment and him as a host!
