Alain's place is in a fantastic location. For access to Mont Royale, it can't be beat, and it was walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go in Montreal. There were also great restaurants and supermarket nearby. A couple of downsides: Wifi coverage in the apartment is very weak outside the main kitchen/living room area, and the sofa bed was not terribly comfortable. But the two bedrooms are very comfortable, bright and spacious, the kitchen is well set up for cooking, and communication with Alain was very good. So we had an enjoyable stay
