We loved Joseph's place. First, Joseph is a great host! Before we arrived, he was very helpful with all the details for check-in and also tips about the area. The apartment was bigger than I expected with all the amenities to make you feel at home, everything was clean and very organized. The kitchen is big and has all the appliances for cooking. It has many travel and guide books of the city and the surrounding areas too. It is located in a quiet residential area with markets, restaurants, bars and public transportation (subway, buses) within walking distance. Also Bixi, the biking system in Montreal is two blocks from the apartment. We truly enjoyed our stay here and definitely recommend his place to anyone traveling to Montreal!
