Shane was a fantastic host. He communicated well with me prior to my stay and gave me super instructions to get from the train station to his house via the metro. He is very accommodating, my stay ended up being a day earlier than anticipated and rather than find a new place to stay he slept on the sofa allowing me a bedroom. His apartment is lovely and convenient to get to Montreal, perhaps 15-20 minutes by metro to get to downtown and the metro ran frequently. Shane gave me lots of information about things to see and do and had excellent recommendations. He is very friendly and sociable so it's great to have someone to chat with, especially as a solo traveller! Montreal is a great city and if I return I will certainly be staying here again. Thanks Shane!
