Marcos' place was perfect for my needs. This half basement did not feel at all like a basement apartment. Like the title says, it is very well lit with natural light, ceiling is regular to high height with excellent soundproofing, it is spacious with two bedrooms, a living room area, large kitchen and dining area and nice bathroom, a washer and dryer and even available parking space in the driveway itself. The place is very clean, has Wi-Fi, well equipped kitchen and cable TV. Everything to make a super comfortable, safe stay with a homey feel. Marcos is a fantastic host. He is super friend, respectful of privacy and cares a lot about the well being of his guests. Marcos and his apartment exceeded my expectations and I will certainly make sure I try to stay there again next time I am in Montreal. Merci encore Marcos!
