We are just home from an eight night stay at Philippe's place, which was also our very first with Airbnb. We have travelled numerous times to Montreal, always staying in a hotel. Staying in Philippe's space was a refreshing change, and actually made our trip more enjoyable. We really found it nice to come back to 'our own place' in the evening. Even though it is a smaller space than what we are used to, we enjoyed our time while there. It appeared to have been recently renovated, and it is a modern, clean environment. Philippe was very helpful (especially when I couldn't figure out how to get in!), and replied almost immediately when I needed to reach him. We will definitely look to using Airbnb again, and can enthusiastically recommend Philippe's property to anyone heading to Montreal.
