The listing description is totally accurate. We never met our host but I believe he would be very accommodating if a need arose. He lives next door so very convenient. Kevin kept us up to date and made it a very simple process to accessing the apt. Never hovered or made us feel like we were being watched over. The neighborhood is quiet, people are friendly, appears to be an up and coming area, as evidenced by numerous renovations happening in surrounding houses. Close to old Montreal. Taxi cabs very reliable. We loved this apt. would recommend this place to anyone . We had a very positive experience.
