We stayed at Joshua's place while attending a conference in downtown Montreal. We considered getting a place closer in, but they were so much more expensive and less comfortable that we decided to commute into the city. It was a great decision! Joshua's place was very clean with every convenience provided. There is a bus stop outside the door or extremely inexpensive rental cars at the airport. A shopping center is a block away and a full mall is in easy walking distance from the apartment. We recommend this location no matter where you're going in the city.
