Hugues' place is excellent! It's located near St. Laurent and Des Pins where there are many bars and restaurants on St. Laurent Boulevard. It is also close to Sherbrooke metro station so you can get to other parts of Montreal pretty easily. The apartment itself is cozy, well equipped and has a strong, stable Wifi. There is also an interesting collection of books in French and English. The only thing you need to get used to a bit is that the step at the entrance to the basement is a bit steep so if you are coming back from a night out or something I recommend you turn on the light first to make sure of the location of the steps. Check-in and checkout were flexible and a breeze. Hugues is very friendly and responds to inquiries quickly. Hence I would totally recommend Hugues' apartment for exploring cool stuff in Montreal for a couple of weeks!
