Initially looking for 6 month appartment rental downtown or at least very close to metro but would consider longer term for the right deal.
Single retiree here so studio or 1 br is certainly sufficient. Need to be able to easlity get to Quartier des Spectacles and Place des Arts as well as groceries.
Atwater neighborhood rings a bell as being pleasant and an easy communte.
Would also consider the East end and Plateau Mont Royal. Looking forward to some input from experienced expats in Montreal recommendations for a short tern rental agency
