Had a very comfortable stay at Jen's place. It's literally 2 mins from the Laurier station. And that's only a 5 min subway ride from downtown and old Montreal. There are also a bunch of places around to eat. Jen had left some bagels and juice for breakfast. The house is a bit old but that wasn't a problem.
Rooms look just the pictures.
Comfortable and cheap accommodation in Montreal. Definitely recommend.
