We stayed at Don’s place for three nights and loved it. It was even nicer than the photos, comfortable, spacious, and very clean. The neighborhood gives you a feel for how real Montrealers live and there is a lot of great coffee and food a short walk away. Metro is about a 12 min walk, but that was fine with us or Uber was easily available.
One item that slightly affected our stay, but was not Don’s fault at all, was that you hear the upstairs neighbors moving around, which could be an issue if you are a light sleeper.
Really recommend this place for a great value in Montreal—thanks, Don.
