Alex's place is a great place to stay for a short trip. It is close to the 24 bus which takes you directly to Sherbrooke station to get downtown. If you do decide to walk to the closest metro station, it is around 17 minutes walk. You can easily walk to the Plateau area for restaurants, shops, and bakeries. The room is exactly as described, it's quite spacious even for two people. Everyone is quite private in the house so you'll get plenty of privacy. You're also free to use the kitchen and washer/dryer as well which is an added bonus.
