What a perfect apartment! Our 2 night stay at Jayson's was even better than we expected. He was gracious enough to accommodate our check in and check out times without any drama and was there to greet us upon arrival. His communication is tops - he made it clear we could contact him any time and he gave us great recs for anything we could possibly want in the nabe.
The apartment is quiet and spotless, with a lovely terrace overlooking a quiet backyard and neighborhood alleyway, a big comfy bed and excellent strong shower. The cat is sweet as can be and she doesn't get in your way. Ho Chi liked to sit on the patio with us but had her own schedule and was a most refined and unassuming elder cat. We never saw or smelled her litter box.
The apartment is less than a 5 minute walk to a large grocery store and the Metro/subway is about a 10 minute walk. There are bikes you can rent on the corner of the block. You will not be hard-pressed to find the best coffee shops, bakeries or restaurants only minutes away.
This apartment is literally the best place to stay in Montreal (we've made 6 trips in 3 years), thank you to Jayson and Ho Chi Minh for hosting us! See you in a few months!:)
