Delphine's studio is a wonderfully remodelled space from which to explore Montreal. The rustic details and multiple incorporations of live textures into the space sets it apart from most cookie cutter apartments. While you won't find yourself on the main drag, it is a short walk over to the metro, which can get you almost anywhere you want to go. I recommend buying a transit pass for the duration of your stay. I personally took around 20 trips on the transit during my 4-day stay, which more than offsets the cost. The neighbourhood is fairly quiet at night, making it a good place to go for a run in the morning or evenings and ensuring your sleep is not disturbed by incessant traffic. Though I did not personally meet Delphine, her husband was pleasant and check in was not an issue. Wonderful value for the money.
