I wish I'd had more time to spend in Montreal as the apartment makes an ideal location for exploring the city and having a comfortable place to cook and chill out in the evening.
The apartment is clean, nicely furnished, spacious and in a good neighborhood. It's a short walk to the Côte-Sainte-Catherine stop on the orange line, where you can pick up the subway to the restaurants and markets downtown or buses to go up to the Mount Royal park. Parking was convenient on the street or off street in their driveway for street cleaning days. I don't speak French very well, but we were able to communicate enough to get through what's needed. The appartment has a separate entrance to the basement of Marco's house. It's clear they've put some thought into outfitting the apartment with a good size counter when you want to cook. I would recommend it to anyone.
