Aksel's place is located on a quiet street in a safe and fun area. The second floor common space is the only living room, so keep that in mind if you're looking to lounge around (...but this shouldn't be a problem because Montreal has too much to do/see/eat!). The duplex is very clean and managed by a helpful management company (English/French fluent, just like everyone else in Montreal). All the following are within a short walk and well worth a visit: smoked beef sandwich at Schwartz's Deli, roast chicken at Rotisserie Romados, duck confit at L'Express, cocktails at Big in Japan, drinks at Bar Suzanne, and late night poutine at Patati Patata.
