Sylvain's place is extremely pleasant and comfortable. Even though it was our first time in Montreal, we felt welcomed by both Sylvain and his neighbor. He was there to greet us the day we land and showed us around the apartment. He also made great recommendations on where to visit in Montreal and how to get there. The apartment itself was very clean, nicely decorated, and welcoming -- exactly as shown in the photos. The immediate neighborhood is quiet, but there are plenty of bars within a few blocks.

As we used Bixi bike share as our primary mode of transportation, there were two docking stations around the apartment that within easy access. All major attractions were within biking distance.

I highly recommend this listing and would rent again next time I return to Montreal.
