He was in touch throughout my stay. The neighborhood is my favorite. The apartment was perfectly clean and well equipped. It would be daunting for people who don't like stairs, but for me the walk up made the apartment even more private and isolated. I will stay there again whenever I am in Montreal. My only criticism is that being required to check out at 10 am is a little too early. I made it work, but a Noon checkout would be a bit better.
