I stayed at Sebastien's place for the entire month of September 2018. He is an awesome host, as he answered all my questions and helped me navigate everything in the apartment when I first checked in. The place has a great ambiance with big windows for lot of light and a nice patio. Sebastien has paid attention to a lot of small things which made my stay really great! The kitchen was well stocked, there's in apartment laundry, lots of extra sheets, pillow covers. It is located in Hochelaga area which is not a glamorous area but it has a community feel to it, the street has good parking, lot of trees and most importantly its quiet. There's a really nice street two blocks away from the apartment, which has restaurants, bars and grocery stores. I commuted to downtown everyday and it took me 20-25 minutes (including the walk and the metro ride).
If you are looking for a spacious and quiet place to stay and want to experience Montreal on a budget, this is the perfect place.
