Jason laid out instructions right after the booking was confirmed and was very insightful as to areas nearby in terms of restaurants, supermarkets and city transit. Upon arrival Jason was there to greet me and ask of any concerns. The room itself was great as it was clean and tidy upon arrival along with all linens being provided. The location was great about a 15 minute walk to nearby restaurants or metro station. It is ideal for any student and in my case doing the Canadian optometry board exams as the apartment is located about a 15 minute walk from the Optometry school at the University of Montreal which is perfect. Downtown was a bit further about a 25-30 minute metro ride, but two metro stations are also located nearby and using them is very easy. Lastly, the cat is very friendly and will do a periodic room inspection! Overall a great experience for a first time airbnb user!!
