How to Find an Apartment in Montreal 🍁 Complete Guide

Your complete guide on how to find an apartment in Montreal. From where and how to look, what to look for when searching for a place, and my favourite part of this video, the city guide - where I've interviewed a bunch of my friends living all over Montreal to give a rundown on their own special neighbourhoods to help give you an idea of where you want to live.

This is a video idea I've had for ages and actually filmed it all in the month before I left Montreal, just never had the time to edit it all together until now.
If you're wondering "But Lashan, you've been in London for over a year and a half, why are you making a Montreal video?" Mate, I'm in one of the worst lockdowns on planet Earth right now, I'll take whatever escapism I can get 😂
