Sam was an absolutely great host. He was communicative and reachable whenever we had a question. The apartment is in a great location and has lots of windows, unlike the more traditional "row house" in the neighborhood. The apartment was as advertised. IT was clean and spacious. The beds are comfortable and the couch folds down as a bed if needed. The kitchen had very basic tools/appliances for limited cooking. It would be worth reaching out to the host if you are expecting to do more than just breakfast or basic warming up of leftovers, although in such a great neighborhood I wouldn't expect to cook at all. Grocery stores are within walking distance, and there are lots of shops and restaurants merely blocks away. Parking is a concern, although we were lucky to find available overnight metered parking around the corner (metered parking overnight starts at 21:30, and even restricted neighborhood-only parking spots are available overnight after 23:00). Know that if you're planning to visit over a weekend the parking will be hard to come by. I would rent from Sam again on my next visit to Montreal
