Zakis apartment was clean and functional, although a bit sparsely decorated. I was a great place for us to crash during a weekend in Montreal, we could walk to all the best bars, restaurants and boutiques in and around Le Plateau and Mile End within 35 minutes. Actually, we hardly left the area except for a shorter visit to the old city. The check-in process could have been smoother as we had not received adequate information on what floor or apartment that was for us, however, Zaki was quick to reply when we texted for more info and was very flexible in regards to our stay.
