Daniel was very friendly and gave me tons on information on the city. There were two other guys in the other two bedrooms and they were awesome people too. The apartment was absolutely true to the photos shown and most importantly, it was very clean. There is a bar just three stores down the same block, and my room faces the back alley, so it might be a bit noisy over the weekend though.
The apartment is very conveniently located (close to metro, and two stops from central metro station). I was attending a conference at UQAM and Concordia so that was perfect.
I want to thank Daniel for making me feel really welcomed, especially since this is my first time using airbnb. I definitely hope to visit the city again.
