Shane and his roommate are very friendly and welcoming. The location, although looks very far from downtown Montreal, is very close to the Metro and will lead you to downtown by 15-20 minutes (C$3.25 one way or C$6.0 two way). They offered great places to visit and directions on how to get there and just overall was very kind and informative. They even offered us pizza for dinner! Highly recommended if you're looking for good value stay.
