Excellent simple, clean, comfortable, and quiet place to stay in Montreal, in a cool neighborhood with easy and fast connections to the metro to get elsewhere. The space is a little larger than I expected based on the pictures, and was perfectly clean when I arrived. A very well-equipped kitchen for such a small place, and the neighborhood has more than enough places to buy groceries and such within walking distance. This area of Villeray has quite a few cool cafes popping up, and if you prefer the more dense parts of the city, you are 15 minutes via metro from the Plateau or Outremont areas.
Marilou was very responsive and took the time to help me out with some questions I had about the neighborhood. A great stay and a great host. I liked it so much that I decided to move to this neighborhood in Montreal for good!
