Jean was an excellent host! I stayed for three months at his place and everything was great. Jean showed me around the neighbourhood and took me on several trips. He was generous with food and advice on Montreal. At the same time, he is respectful of privacy and makes sure the place is quiet when needed. Communication was always clear between us. The appartement is very spacious, located at the vibrant area of Villeray, and the metro station (Fabre) is close. I worked at UQAM, which could be reached in 15 to 20 minutes by metro. Jean kept the place clean. The room is big and you have a private and well-equiped bathroom, which is a definite plus. In sum, the perfect place for anyone staying at Montreal for a longer period of time and looking both for good company and a peaceful ambiance.
