I arranged for a relative to meet the host and get access to the apartment, which was convenient for both of us. The apartment was spotless and just as pictured. The coffeemaker came with a basket of coffee pods, which we used up during our week stay. The kitchen included everything necessary to cook large meals, including dinner service for maybe 20 people. The skylights were charming, the TV was huge (with excellent service), the beds were comfortable, there was room to socialize and play stupid board games. The neighborhood is the best in Montreal for charm, restaurants, shops, and is vibrant with local residents. For superb hand-made bread, a short walk to: Guillaume, 5132 Boul St-Laurent, Montréal, QC H2T 1R8, Canada. A great place to stay.
