My friends and I stayed in Montreal for a night and this apartment was nicer than what we expected given that it was our first time using Airbnb. We did not get to meet the host but they made everything simple and easy for us. The only thing I would warn is the parking. We parked off street and got a $53 parking ticket. There is free parking in the parking lot, do not park off street or else you will get the ticket. But overall it was a great experience! I would highly recommend it to anyone who's planning to visit Montreal and needs a place to stay.
