I've had an amazing stay in Montréal. Also due to the beautiful house I lived in. Located in a peaceful, green street I had a spacious bright room with a bed, desk, walk-in closet, window and enough opportunities to arrange your stuff. You'll noticed that the kitchen looks a bit used which is fine though because everything you need is provided: fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, kettle, pots, pans etc. etc. You have access to wifi, laundry and a garden as well. Beautiful spot to grab breakfast in the morning sun!!
I've been welcomed friendly, warmly by the mom's host. She showed me around and gave me tipps how to get to the city (the bus leaves at the end of the street) or the next grocery store which is only 10 min walk. I highly recommend it. Especially for solo travellers. Thanks for that great experience!!!
