Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I felt more free. I chose the area and it was Plateau-Mont Royal which is beatiful and I liked very much my apartment. Also, I had a very good relation with my roommate.

Plateau-Mont Royal in Montreal is full of cafes and restaurants. Please don't miss the International Jazz Festival of Montreal, the disco called 'Rouge' and the small shops there. Also, you can go shopping in downtown, with many many shops.
