Chouchou was a good host and very responsive during the checkin process, and immediately addressed some issues that we had initially (we arrived during a heat wave, and the AC had yet to be installed; he sent someone with a fan right away and installed an AC unit in the bedroom that very night).
The apartment is close to some of the main highways, which means that without traffic it is only a 10 minute drive from Old Montreal. The apartment itself was roomy and clean, and the furnishings were comfortable.
If you are a light sleeper, pack along a night mask---the sun comes through very strongly in the morning (~4:30 AM in June). As can be expected from an apartment building, the hot water in the shower was temperamental.
The outside of the building itself could use some repairs, which made sitting on the balcony less exciting. Still, the view from the inside of the apartment out onto Downtown Montreal, especially at night, is beautiful (as depicted in the pictures).
Overall, a value stay based on price+location+free onsite parking.
