Eric's place was perfect for our New Year's weekend trip to MTL. Spacious, nice touches, everything we needed worked. Great location, right in the middle of the Plateau. If being above a bar is an issue for you that's something to know, but it wasn't terribly loud. I slept fine without them but one could bring earplugs just in case. That being said, if being above a hip bar is a perk, Clebard is a nice spot that was busy on Saturday night and of course on NYE.
