We enjoyed our stay in Montreal at Alex's place.
First and main thing here is the view. It really is magical!
CONS
Coming up to the place on the street it's not a particularly attractive building
The area is not as nice by night. Wouldn't say dangerous as we felt fine but would say better for groups and couples.
Apartment gets really hot and stuffy if temperature is over 22degreesC outside and humid. The fans are really great but can't cool it down enough..
Only one small bathroom
Double sofa bed more suited to young people or kids than fully grown adults
Bring your own tea and coffee
PROS
FANTASTIC view
Great location for transport around the city. The metro is great.
Shower was the best water pressure ever!
Swimming pool great and not busy
Queen bed really comfortable and lovely linens
Fun books to read scattered about.
Netflix great to relax in front of at the end of the day
