Alex's place is absolutely fantastic - the apartment itself is decorated to a really high standard and has a cosy, trendy feel to it. The area around is also very nice - leafy streets lined with plenty of great little shops and cafés (Alex even recommended a couple of good cafés for us to try for brunch). It is walking distance from the subway, so getting around Montréal from here is not difficult. As we had a lot of bags with us Alex even let us leave the bags at the apartment after the check-out time which was very helpful. Communication was great and Alex was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend Alex's place to other travellers.
