This was my first time using Airbnb and it was such an amazing experience.
Sarah greeted me at the door and showed me around the place and gave some great recommendations for food nearby. She was so attentive and was able to resolve a few things that came up quickly. She really went above and beyond.
I stayed for 6 weeks by myself and felt safe the entire time. The wifi was excellent which was great because I worked remotely the entire time.
Location-wise, it might look far from downtown Montreal and all the other popular places BUT I didn't think it was that far out. It was just a quick 10 min walk to the metro (which is so clean and well-lit compared to Toronto subway) which took you right into downtown or you could even take a bus at the end of the street to the metro and then subway in. I personally really enjoyed being in Verdun because it was much quieter than being right downtown. Also, Wellington street was only a 5 min walk away which had an abundance of cafe's and cute shops.
The space was clean and beautiful with appliances that worked amazingly. The space had a lot of natural light and the couch and beds were super comfy and the tv came with Netflix and prime which was awesome.
I wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay again!
