My partner and I had a great time staying at Nadeem's place. He was kind and gracious to us, allowing us to drop our bags off early while Marianne was cleaning the flat, arranging for us to meet other people visiting Montreal and recommending local places for us to visit.
Would highly recommend the flat, we were pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was. It also gave us a great opportunity to explore Laurier Ave, which has tons of cute restaurants, specialty shops and a really nice neighbourhood vibe.
