The apartment was as described, small but clean, and excellent value for money. We had one of two third-floor apartments away from the street at the back of the building (there are two at the front) and didn't hear any noise from there the 6 nights we stayed. There are people above and the insulation is such that we did hear them walking around a few times though. The shower is hot and powerful, and the bed is comfortable. The neighborhood is great, with restaurants, bars and cafes close by, the nearest bus stops are about 5 minutes walk away, and the nearest metro stations are about 10-15 minutes away. We will definitely consider staying here again if we are back in Montreal.
