Really great location close enough to everything we wanted to see. We had to spend another night a week later in Montreal and stayed at a hotel in old montreal. We definitely preferred our stay at Max's place. Being right in old montreal was very touristy and crowded. There were four of us for 2 nights and the size was perfect to have our own rooms but also a small common area to sit around and chat before bed or to have coffee in the morning to plan our day. We're all walkers so the location was perfect as we could do a 20 minute walk to get nearly anywhere we wanted to be, including old montreal, the plateau, outremont, etc.. We went to some great breweries, win bars, restaurants, spa, markets, etc. as well as seeing the cathedral. Highly recommended.
