Charles was a very responsive host. His apartment is nicely located on Parc La Fontaine about 25 minutes or so by foot to Le Plateau- Mt. Royal (St. Laurent, St. Urbain etc). The free parking is very good for Montreal. It's best if you just leave your car when you arrive and take public transit or walk since spaces are not always available all the time (you can park often on nearby streets if you do need to go in and out often with the car). The pictures depict the apartment very accurately. Everything you need is there for your use and things are clean in relatively new condition. One thing that might be overlooked is that there is no door between the bedroom and the living room (though there is a hallway between the rooms). It was fine for us with one in-law staying in the living room. Also we detected a slight smell of a pet in the building; likely a dog. It was not a problem and could be a temporary issue; but for those who are sensitive to that it is something to note. I would recommend the apartment to friends for whom the unit is suitable.
