Scott is a great host. He is available to answer questions and give advice on where to shop or what to see in town. The condo is beautiful, newly updated, and very clean. You do have to walk up the equivalent of two stories from the street level to the condo. You are near a metro station and there are restaurants and shopping near by. One negative is the homeless and beggars on St Catherine’s street, but they can be mostly avoided. Also, don’t plan on watching any TV stations. Netflix and internet apps are available on the flat screen, but not TV channels. I enjoyed my visit to Montreal and staying at Scott’s place was very comfortable.
