Accomodation in Montreal
Hi!
I have posted here a good few times. We are a family of three moving to Montreal. My husbands company is paying for the move but we are wondering what kind of accomodation is available in Montreal and based on that we would decide what to bring and not to bring...i,e will we bring some small peices of furniture or will we be able to rent furnished? I also heard about "renting furniture" has anyone any experience with that?
Here in Ireland it is quite common to rent a house furnished all mod cons incl. but that doesnt seem to be the norm for Canada.
So I am wondering what type of accomodation is on offer. Could we rent maybe partly furnished (i.e. ktichen, table, sofa) and get the rest in IKEA etc etc.
Any hints, ideas, sharing of experience is welcomed...so many decision to make:-)
Thanks very much in advance, this board really is fantastic!

As to bringing over stuff, it probably is not worth it, unless you have some priceless family heirlooms. Best to start afresh.
I do not know of many places that rent our furniture. Most people simply buy, new or second hand.
As to accommodation it all depends on your budget and where you want to live
