My friends and I stayed at Francis's place in Montreal over Memorial Day weekend, and boy was it fantastic. The apartment was pristine, with just about every amenity you could need, and felt very luxurious. Francis also left a folder full of directions, tips, and maps of the local area, which was incredibly helpful.
The place is in a beautiful neighborhood, Plateau Mont-Royal, and one of the great joys for us was walking down Mont-Royal Avenue every morning for a delicious breakfast on our way to the metro. I would say, if you aren't a fan of walking, that this may not be the best place, though there is plenty of parking on the street if you prefer to drive. Nonetheless, with good weather to accompany us that weekend the walk to the closest metro station was a breeze, and once there it's simple to get anywhere in the city.

In short: Francis was wonderful, and so was the apartment. Highly recommend!
