The place is in a great spot that's close to several bars and restaurants, and is walking distance from McGill. The place was clean and spacious, comfortably housing our group of three for a few nights. Manu was a good host, despite having never met him in person, he was quick to respond to messages and made himself readily available for any recommendations or concerns you may have. I would definitely recommend this place as being convenient and affordable, especially on a student budget.
My only complaint is that the place isn't close to a metro station, making trips to old Montreal or the biodome a bit more difficult, although still doable by bus.
