Steve is a spectacular host, he welcomed us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We didn't need much though because his apartment is very clean and thoroughly stocked with everything you would need on a fun vacation. The location is amazing! Lots of great restaurants and stores, right near the park, in walking distance to downtown, Jazz festival, city bikes at the front door. It's a hopping area at night though, so there is a lot of noise into the night. On the other hand we had a Brazilian percussion band parade down our street in the afternoon that was amazing, so it's well worth being in the heart of it all. I also highly recommend visiting the Jewish Montreal Museum across the street and taking the entertaining, poetic, and fascinating walking tour with them about the incredible history of the very blocks this apartment is in. We will definitely return to Montreal and look into staying at Steve's accommodations!
