Mark's place was awesome.. I wished I lived there permanently! It was so clean, well decorated and comfortable. We LOVED the front and back balconies and enjoyed them at all times of the day/night. The location is amazing because you can basically walk everywhere you need-- multiple parks, Mount Royal lookout, amazing bars and restaurants, shopping, Old Montreal.. everything! We parked our car out back and only used it once to go to the Jean Talon market (which was amazing). Some nights we wanted to "stay local" which meant walking less than 5min to so many options for food and fun. The area is very safe and there are always people out and about until late and night. Mark was also quick and clear with all communications so doing self check-in was a breeze. Staying here really made our first time to Montreal special and we cannot wait to return :)
