We really enjoyed our stay at this place! The unit is in a residential neighborhood, and it does require a walk up a hill to get to public transportation. The easiest way is to walk up to Sherbrooke and take the bus from there to the Sherbrooke metro station. An Uber ride to Old Montreal ranged from $10-$15 Canadian, so not too bad. There is plenty of street parking around the apartment, and it is free. The great value in the price makes staying in this neighborhood worth it though, as the apartment itself was extremely clean (I even noticed the shower had a new curtain liner, and there were extras in the bathroom vanity). There were plenty of toiletries (including body wash, shampoo, conditioner, nail polish remover) and lots of storage, so we were really able to unpack and feel at home. The bed was very comfortable and had curtains and blinds, so it stayed very dark. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures, and the TV also has a Roku so we were able to watch Netflix. I loved the style and design of the place, you can tell that they really care about their place and took pride in decorating it. It was EXTREMELY hot while we were in town (about 95 degrees and VERY humid) and the AC worked AMAZING!!!!! It kept the apartment extremely cool and was a life-saver. There is a Nespresso machine in the apartment as shown in the pictures, but the hosts do not provide any pods, so bring your own if you would like that kind of coffee - otherwise there is also a drip coffee maker with coffee provided, but again I would bring your own ground coffee as the coffee they had was not very good (but we are picky).
If you are on a budget and looking for a comfortable, modern and homey place to stay while in Montreal, I would definitely recommend this place! The hosts were always quick to respond to questions and also sent us an e-mail prior to our stay with local tips and recommendations. Thanks again for a GREAT stay!
