We were happy with our stay at Wanja and Cindy's place. They were flexibile with our check-in and gave us tips about the area—they also have created a guide book (food, groceries, etc) that you can read to help in getting to know the area. The walk to and from the metro is short, safe, and pleasant. The room is well decorated and the bed is comfortable; the work station is very usable and the internet worked very well. As a couple, we needed to take turns organizing ourselves on the bed as the space is a bit tight, but it's manageable. We also got to use the charming balcony dedicated to our room!
We found the room to be comfortably clean, and we appreciated the access to the shared areas. We had use of the kitchen sink and stove, cooking ware & eating ware, the coffee maker (and some coffee!); they also provided us some space in the cupboard and the fridge. We had the impression that the laundry machines were available, too, but we didn't need them on our trip. The bathroom is bright during the day thanks to a skylight; we were given nice towel sets to use.
We enjoyed our stay in Montreal!
