My boyfriend and I had a short weekend getaway to Montreal for Labor Day weekend and wanted to stay in a place that was true to the Quebecois culture and located within walking distance of good restaurants and cafes. Alex's home fit these criteria perfectly. It's just the right size for two people and we were able to walk everywhere. His apartment is absolutely adorable. It's very quiet at night, as it's in a residential neighbourhood. However, you have access to a multitude of restaurants, cafes, markets, etc right at your doorstep. Alex was very responsive and gave us a ton of helpful recommendations prior to our stay. The only tricky part is the street parking which can be very hard to figure out (I got a ticket last time I was in Quebec because I didn't interpret the signs correctly!), but this time we were successful. We found a spot within a very short walk from Alex's apartment. I would highly recommend Alex's home to any couple wanting an authentic Quebecois escape. We had a great time!
