We loved our stay in Montreal and found the location to be fun and quite convenient to the downtown area (i.e. walking distance). Julien greeted us upon our arrival and was helpful providing information about the area, (i.e. local grocery store, public transportation, events - jazz festival). He also gave us a walk through of the apartment making sure we were comfortable and knew where to find extra linen, blankets etc. We were surprised to see it was newly renovated and liked the fact that everything seemed shiny and brand new- not to mention immaculate. We were pleased to have coffee, bread and jam provided for breakfast in the morning. If we needed anything, we knew we could email Julien or just go upstairs and knock on his door. We hope to return to Montreal and will definitely want to stay with Julien.
