Franck's place is located in just about the best area in Montreal - so close to the metro and so walkable to everything! There are so many wonderful restaurants, bars, shops, markets and things to do all within blocks of his place. His home is in a nice, quiet residential area - but just a one-block walk takes you right out to the bustling avenue. The kitchen was equipped well enough and Franck even left us some tasty ground coffee to enjoy. It was also nice to have a washer and dryer to use! I have to clarify, however, that the beds in the apartment are NOT queen size, they are only double...this did cause problems for us (my husband is very tall and "built") comfort-wise. Also note that during hot weather, it is extremely difficult to cool the rooms down. Check-in was simple and Franck responded quickly to all communications, even though he was abroad during our stay. I would fully recommend his place to folks who are ok with double beds - and probably when the weather is a bit cooler!
