Julien and his wife were great hosts and their apartment was absolutely perfect for us. It was very clean, larger than it appears in the photos, and the back deck was like having an extra room. It is just a short walk to Parc La Fontaine, convenient to Mont Royal, and an ideal location for exploring Montreal. We spent a month and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We do not speak French but Julien speaks English so communication was no problem. I am happy to recommend his place to anyone visiting Montreal.
