I had a really nice of experience staying at Hanna and Ilir's apartment. It is a basement apartment, but is very bright and airy, it doesn't feel like a basement apartment. When we arrived, the place was clean and we had everything we needed (except a microwave, but we ended up using the oven instead which is fine). Hanna and Ilir are wonderful hosts and really tried to accommodate our needs. They let our two cats stay with us and let me have a late check out because my flight was until quite late that day. Traveling with cats, that was so so helpful. Location wise, it is in a quiet residential area of Montreal that is close to nature. Without a car, it's quite easy to get to downtown. There is a bus stop less than a minute walk away that takes you. That bus takes you directly to a subway station in about 20 mins. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!
