location is definitely 15 minutes drive to Montreal downtown or the city center which was not too bad considering this air bnb is right beside the highway exit. That being said, if you are sensitive to sound , hearing the cars and trucks all night/early morning can interfere with your sleep; same with the loud upstairs tenants (stomping / loud music in the middle of the night; not sure if under the host's control).
there indeed is free parking on the street the air bnb is located on, but if you come back late and the street parking is full I don't know where you're supposed to go but luckily we didn't run into that issue.
the unit is very beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and feels cozy and has everything you need. we did think it could be a little cleaner (stains on different items , carpets could use a little more vacuuming, would have been nice to have clean sponges/cleaner surface to put cleaned dishes) and general fixes needed (can feel titles are broken under some of the rugs and carpets).
the host was very responsive and quick 1 out of the 2 times I reached out with a question , not sure what happened the second time but he seemed nice.
