Lovely flat exactly as described. We had a wonderful stay at Emmanuel and Sophie's and it was a perfect base from which to explore Montreal. Easy communication and friendly welcome. Be sure to stop by Billy Waxman's espresso bar/tailor/barber shop next door for the insider scoop and lots of great local recommendations for restaurants/bars/cafes. The Mexican shower (no separate shower stall) was not our favorite amenity (everything in the bathroom gets wet after a shower, and bathroom gets pretty musty too), but the set-up was exactly as advertised, so we knew ahead of time and were okay with it.
