Wonderful accommodations...very clean and fully equipped with everything necessary for a short vacation for our group of 8. I have NO complaints or concerns about the apartment. Also, the hosts were absolutely great...very responsive to my questions and inquiries. The only negative thing about this place was the difficulty finding parking for a large van (12-passenger size). This is NOT a neighborhood for large vehicles...driving nor parking. We were lucky to have found a free parking space on the street for half a day, but we had to walk around several blocks to find areas that had no restrictions (lots of restricted parking zones in that neighborhood), and we had to keep looking for spaces to open up...not very convenient when you'd rather just park the vehicle and forget about it (without having to pay hundreds of dollars, that is). I wish the hosts had made this a bit clearer when I asked specifically about it...I think I would have found a different location had I known. The parking lot several blocks away that was recommended by the hosts was not attended by anyone when we arrived, and there were no signs posted indicating their "hours" so we didn't know when to come back...but it was clear that overnight parking in that lot costs $90. So, we parked on Mont Royal (right in front of the apartment) overnight because it's free to park there between 9pm and 9am, but we had to wake up early the next morning to move the vehicle before 7am because there happened to be an extra restriction on that street in that particular neighborhood...no parking on weekdays between 7am and 8am for street sweeping. So, I couldn't really enjoy sleeping in AND I still had to drive around and look for a space that was available to park the vehicle for the remainder of the day (or for however many hours were possible before the next restriction). It was just a pain. So, if you have a large vehicle, I don't recommend this neighborhood at all. If you have a regular sized vehicle and plan on visiting during the weekend, then parking may not be as much of an issue. If you have a vehicle and don't care how much time, money, and energy it will cost you to find proper parking spaces, then no need to even worry. I do highly recommend this place if you plan on visiting Montreal without a vehicle and plan on getting everywhere by metro or on foot. It's sooooo close to a metro station and is a fun neighborhood.
