Julien was a great host! He was very communicative and attentive! Check in and out was very easy and flexible. This is definitely the most fun area in Montreal and the apartment is perfect! It's very clean and well-appointed. It has everything you need to make a great meal and relax in comfort after a night out in the Plateau or Mike End. The rooms are very comfortable and have good linens/towels. The apartment is close to several organic groceries, excellent patisseries, and tons of bars/restaurants/shops. The parking is tough in the neighborhood, but Julien provided info for an app that locates available parking garages and I was able to park a car for $18 for a whole weekend and it was only a few blocks from the apartment. I look forward to my next stay at Julien's place!
