My friend and I stayed at Steve's apartment during the second week of August. The apartment is perfectly described and had a lot of the things we needed. It is located on a street just off Saint-Laurent and is wonderfully close to anything and everything - there are tons of options available. It was very easy to walk/bus to Downtown/Old Montréal or to the Mile End in the opposite direction. Saint-Denis is just a few streets over and is full of cafes/restaurants/shops.
We didn't get a chance to meet Steve but he was always easy to reach by phone and very helpful. We arrived early in Montréal and he was super accommodating with my request to check-in earlier. He arranged for the apartment to be cleaned earlier so we could head straight there from the airport. He even allowed us to check-out a bit later and asked if we needed someplace to store our luggage too! Steve's assistants Alex and George were both helpful and friendly.
We couldn't have asked for a better first Airbnb experience. Highly recommend his host and apartment!
