Magnus' s place was great, spacious and well equipped (and entirely conforming to his photos and description, don't know where that older comment came from).
We didn't see Magnus much because we were busy getting Ella started at Concordia and installed in her flatshare just a few blocks away, but when we did he was very friendly and helpful.
And above all the apartment is ideally placed, Mont Royal and Le Plateau is such a great area. Loved all the local bars, shops and restaurants - a special mention for nearby Kouig Annam boulangerie, croissants better than here in Paris.
So I'll definitely be back !
