Alex's apartment was the perfect home base to explore Montreal. The loft has everything you need with lots of light and the bed was very comfortable. There is SO much to do within walking distance, and then there are Bixi bikes nearby and the Metro is an easy 10 min walk. We had amazing dinners at Maison Publique and Tri Express (both quite close) and frequented several cafes a stone's throw from the apartment. Alex was always reachable and helpful--he gave us lots of suggestions of things to do--and was very accommodating when we needed a place to leave our bags for an hour before heading to the airport. I would 100% recommend staying here--we will be back, ourselves!
