What does 3 1/2 mean?

It's Montreal for 1 bedroom, 1 kitchen, 1 livingroom and a bathroom.

Ah. Thanks. In Japan they do nLDK: n Bedroom + Living/Dining/Kitchen (1LDK, 2LDK).

I believe he means three and a half bedroom, though normally they also give the number of bathrooms too. Eg: 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom apartment.

No, the half is the bathroom. So 3 1/2 is 3 rooms and a bathroom. The three rooms could be 2 bedrooms and a kitchen but it's more likely a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen.
