I felt right at home at Mikael's place. The apartment is very well located a few steps from the Laurier subway station, spacious, clean, nicely appointed and gets lots of natural sunlight. The noise level is very low despite the fact the bedroom is on relatively busy street, thanks to the excellent windows and soundproofing. The living room is at the back and is completely silent. Mikael was always available via email and very responsive. If I come back to Montreal, I'll check if this place is available first ! Highly recommended.
