Where to rent in Montreal?

I may get the chance to spend 6 months in Montreal from November. The company is offering around 2300 Canadian dollars per month towards the accomodation. Would like a modern 2 bed apartment in an area where there is some chance of a social life, i.e. bars, restaurants etc. Any ideas?

Thanks

2300$ a month for accommodation in Montréal
No budget issues then.

You should Google best place to live in Montreal.
One of the result:
What is the best area of Montréal in which to live?

As most of them are saying, I would go for "The plateau Mont-Royal"

With that kind of rent money, you can afford to be picky!

Outremont is very nice and posh. But the hippest part of town is the Plateau Mont-Royal. Lots of great places to eat and great scenery of the movable two-legged variety to watch. NDG is not bad but a bit far removed from metro lines, unless you're near Monkland Village which is pretty hip and mostly anglophone.

Get a cheap but solid bicycle, and teach yourself to bike around Montreal. Best way to get around. I park my car on the South Shore now when I go into the city for work, and ride the remaining 20 or so kilometers on my bike. Great fun, and faster than a car downtown, with no parking hassles.
