Nicolas' place is great, neat, very well equipped. Nicolas is a great host, very prompt and helpful, easygoing.
The appartment is lovely, recently renovated, very clean and well appointed.
The area is close to the new Universite de Montreal campus, to Outremont, there is a Metro (the Montreal subway) close by. Right around the corner on rue Jean Talon there is a lovely Greek bakery, a cafe, and lots of shops. It feels safe to walk everywhere.
