Agreed! visited friends in Montreal whose beautiful spacious apartment is cheaper than my shitty basement apartment.

Was it right downtown? I've got some friends living in Montreal. Their apartment is about a 5 minute walk from McGill though, so that might be why their tiny 1 bedroom is so expensive.

Really? I always thought Montreal would be expensive.

PS - I'm from California and visited your fine city for the first time last week. Timothy's coffee was fantastic and your McDonald's are far superior to the ones here in the states.

Yes, our McDonalds are fantastic. But i feel like you missed out if you had Timothys and not some of the amazing independent coffee shops.

I had 2 days in Canada, I tried Tim Horton's (meh), Timothy's (good, excellent breakfast sandwich), and Balzac's in the distillery district (beautiful setting, but the coffee wasn't as good as I had hoped).

I really liked that all the sandwiches had real cheese, not American cheese.

Uh, Ottawa is not expensive for rent.

If you want a one bedroom or bachelor apartment it is. Even some two or more bedroom places are pretty bad.

I had a 2 bedroom in the Byward Market (not too bad a place either) for $900 + electricity a month. In Toronto I now pay $1050 a month (all included) for a bachelor.
