Charles was a very kind and welcoming host. I was on a short road trip and needed a quiet place where I could work remotely, and his place was excellent for this. He is indeed, very minimal with his interactions, but when you need something he is very helpful and attentive. The location of the place was very close to the bus stop, and just a fairly short walk to the nearest metro, which made it easy to get to downtown Montreal and find really nice places to eat. This was my first experience with Airbnb, and it was definitely a good one.
