Our week long stay at Jacques' apartment was excellent. It's incredibly well appointed with good amenities.

The location is good, provided you know it's not walkable to most major tourist attractions, except the Jean Talon Marche, which we visited and is must see. The nearest metro is only a 10 minute walk though, and there are buses at the end of the street. We bought a Montreal tourist passport and visited a good amount of sites in the first few days.

Jacques was quick to respond to our questions, and had a very useful welcome folder for all the local restaurants and shops.

One thing to note, If driving in, you will need to move the car for street cleaning on Monday and Tuesday. Larger US cars may have an issue finding on street parking, most local cars are smaller hatchbacks.

In summary, an excellent place to stay and see a more genuine side of Montreal, with some very good local cuisine and good access to transport.
