Etienne's place is on a very quiet, beautiful side street. It is very close to saq, deps, and a pretty affordable grocery store for food, and right on the edge of the mile end. its a perfect location! the only thing I have to say is the room is quite different from the pictures, as is the apartment, as it has been renovated/redecorated since the photos have been taken. that being said, my partner and i were blown away by how beautiful the space was!! it was not exactly what we were expecting, but in the best way possible. everything was newer and looked more stylish and chic than the photos that were provided, the rooms are the same just the paint and decor and some of the appliances/fixtures in bathroom were different, but all for the better. the bathroom and other common spaces were sparkling clean at all times, and of course our room was as well. The apartment was very quiet and charming and large, a great spot to stay for our 5 day trip! Etienne was an amazing housemate/host! He was very communicative and accommodating, quiet, and always reachable either in person or by phone. We will definitely keep this spot in mind for future trips to Montreal. Thank you, Etienne!
