We stayed in Alexandre's place for a month and couldn't have picked a better spot. It's perfectly located up a hill, quiet away from the main street, but within walking distance to anything we'd ever want: restaurants, groceries, the TimeOut market, the waterfront, transit.
Throughout our time, Alexandre was always quick to respond and very helpful, even sharing some recommendations of foods to try during the Christmas season.
If his place is available for your travel dates — snag it! It's worth it!
