Coordination and communication was good. Location is excellent: near Vieux Montreal but not right in it, which is nice. Some nice green spaces nearby. The loft space is spacious feeling and nice. Everything worked fine. The building seems well-run.
Especially for anglophiles, pay attention to street parking if you have a car. Parking tickets in Montreal are expensive, so make sure you understand street parking hours and how to pay at the ticket machine. There is a parking lot one block east that is reasonable and friendly.
