I highly recommend a stay with Raul and his partner. I spent 3 weeks in their cozy apartment and it literally felt like staying with friends. Comfortable room with closet, chest of drawers, mirror and fan. Kitchen is also fully equipped. Fantastic location with metro Berri-UQAM at less than 3 minutes’ walk (where 3 different metro lines are available) and many interesting places at a perfectly walkable distance. Very responsive hosts, always ready to help with tips and recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. Again, I highly recommend this place in Montreal!
