0.) Figure out where you need to be - school and work for both of you. 1.) Look at both city and public transit maps - to figure out which neighbourhoods you want to try. 2.) Grab a cellphone and notebook and walk around those neighbourhoods, the majority of good apartments never appear on the internet, write down numbers and make appointments as you go - sometimes you can get to check out the apartment within 30 minutes of calling. The best deals in Montreal are to be found this way, by walking around and dealing with 'less efficient' landlords that don't have the know how or money or time to put stuff up on the net or even in newspapers.
