Mike's apartment is a perfect place to enjoy Montreal. It was very clean, spacious, and quiet inside. There is a little terrace out back, which was nice for eating breakfast each morning. The kitchen is very functional, and equipped with pots/pans/utensils/dishes, etc. The bed is very comfortable, and there are tons of pillows. There is also a parking space in the alley, which was very useful, since street parking is difficult to find. The location is fantastic, with St Catherine just a block away, and approx. 1.5 blocks in either direction for subway access. The neighborhood has a mix of Canadian, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Burgers, etc. restaurants and bars, convenience stores, dollar store, post office, banks, liquor store, pharmacies, and grocery stores all within easy walking distance. Mike was very easy to contact, and made check in easy. He also met us at the apartment, brought fresh fruit, bread, and candy, and made sure we had everything we needed. We hope Mike's apartment will be available during our next trip to Montreal!
