Janique's place is absolutely as described, even better! Everything is provided, there's coffee and tea and I just bought white sugar when I was there (didn't see there was brown sugar until after I bought). Masson street has a lot of restaurants, and it's just a stone-throw away. It's kind or far from touristy places, but you can take the bus+metro and be in downtown in under 30 minutes (the bus is not so frequent though!) It was perfect for me who isn't really looking to be a tourist but more to get a feel on living in Montreal. Janique was very helpful and the house is super cozy and clean, it was almost hard to leave the house!!
