I had an amazing experience staying in Daniel's place.
I spent 4 months there while I was studying in Concordia University as an exchange student for the winter term, and honestly, I don't have any complaints.
From the very first day, he was very welcoming and helpful. He showed me places in the neighborhood where I could buy everything I needed, like markets, supermarkets, drugstores, bakeries, among others. Also, he explained to me how the subway in Montreal worked, and helped me out to get my student pass. These are just some examples of his attitudes that really helped me as a newcomer to Canada/Montreal.
As for the place itself, everything in the apartment was always very neat and clean. From day one he explains the coexistence rules, which I think work pretty well and guarantee that we respect each other's space and privacy, while keeping shared spaces organised.
The room was very comfortable and really silent. I had great nights of sleep there.
Also, the neighborhood is amazing and there's a subway station less than two blocks away.
I definitely recommend his place for anyone who's looking for a place to stay in Montreal.
