This is a great location and a safe, clean place with lots of amenities and a responsive and friendly owner. We didn’t even realize when we booked it just how cool the neighborhood is. There are any number of great places to eat nearby. Schwartz’s is around the corner, btw, if that’s on your bucket list. But Saint Laurent & especially Duluth streets are loaded with terrific dining options, shops, and just a good vibe. (Vibe is somewhere between Bohemian and hipster. But, it’s not pretentious. Still, you will be forced to see grown men with their hair in a bun. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.) You can get to Vieux Montreal easily by car or walk it in ~30 minutes, depending on your pace. The lodging itself (3BR unit) is up a decent flight of stairs (didn’t count but has to be 20 steps+), if that’s a consideration for you. In our group was my 87 year old father-in-law who walks with a cane. The stairs were all he could handle, but he was able to do it. Just be advised if anyone in your party has mobility issues. But, that matter aside, I think you’ll love the vibrant location, wonderful host, and quick access to the touristy stuff downtown/Old Montreal. Bon voyage!
