Our host was super responsive, and we enjoyed this place very much! Montreal is a fascinating city, and this apartment gives an opportunity for a very genuine experience of the neighborhood and a certain wonderful "living like a local" feeling. We loved the kitchen and bath, and the beds were "just right". The front bedroom has lots of sunlight and, importantly, has very effective "black-out" curtains. There is an interior stained-glass window between the front bedroom that allows illumination between the second, fully interior bedroom, which we liked. The exterior stairs from the street are very typical for a third floor walkup Montreal apartment, and an important factor to think about. There is so much within a short walk -- good food, drinks, stores, playgrounds, and a children's library and public indoor pool. Easy public transit options, nearby too. Highly recommended!
