This ground-level flat is in our favourite part of Montreal, close to many great restaurants and bars - but far enough away from downtown that it is reasonably quiet at night. The subway is a short 5min walk away, and you can reach downtown in <10mins. There are excellent parks and playgrounds nearby. The backyard garden/deck is a bonus, and excellent for relaxing. WiFi speeds are reasonable, and the host made some effort to improve signal strength (successfully) which was appreciated.
Some notes for other visitors: the bathtub/shower would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues (very high, standalone tub/shower combo). There was a fair amount of noise transfer (footsteps, etc.) from above. It didn't bother us, but may bother light sleepers. Parking requires patience, and an eye for detail (signage in Montreal is very poor, and you will have to move your car on either Tuesday or Thursday, depending on the sign - or risk a ticket). There are no room darkening shades, so the bedrooms gets quite bright early.
We had a great stay, and would definitely come back!
