Marie-Luc was an amazing host. She was extremely accommodating, friendly, positive, and helpful while respecting my privacy and space. I really enjoyed my conversations with her about travel, etc. and felt very comfortable and relaxed at her place. Her apartment is very cozy, clean, and has everything you would ever want (and more :) The room has a perfect balance of furniture (a large desk, a comfy bed, a dresser, a closet), and plenty of space to keep your stuff.
The neighborhood is very safe, quiet, and convenient to get around (bus and subway are very close). There are a couple of parks nearby, and plenty of stores to get everything you need. I had no trouble parking right on the street which is not always the case in Montreal.
The only one thing that may be a concern to light sleepers like myself is that the building is old so you may hear the neighbors upstairs but no loud parties or music late at night. It has nothing to do with Marie-Luc's place itself though which is very quiet plus Marie is very respectful of her guest's peace.
All in all, a wonderful host and a wonderful stay!
