John was a great host, responsive, and helpful. The place looks exactly like the photos. Everything was in a walking distance, and the Bixi station (bicycles) is across the building so you can have your way around the city. The location is perfect, and the apartment was clean. If you don't mind a bit of music coming from the adjacent building, this is the place for you. I would recommend to bring your slippers because the flooring is not carpeted and you might get bothered by the dust accumulating during your stay. My first experience with Airbnb, and it was a good one. If I visited Montreal again, I would definitely stay at John's place.
