Charles was a great host. He was out of town, but he texted me to make sure I was able to find the keys and check in. The apartment is in a very quiet residencial area, by Parc Lafontaine. I had always stayed downtown in the St.-Catherine/Rene Levesque area, but this was far better, just a few blocks from restaurants and boulangeries/patisseries. The metro station is about a 20-minute walk, and you can park on the street right in front of the building. The interior is very spacious and the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom were extremely clean. The heat was on (you need it in April in Montreal) and I slept very comfortably both nights. He supplied clean towels. I'd like to stay with Charles again next time I travel to Montreal.
