I loved this room - such a peaceful little spot with everything I needed to work on my laptop, cook a few small meals, and walk to see nearby sites in Montreal. It was so nice to be greeted upon arrival by the host, with simple instructions if I needed to know anything about the house and amenities. I came & went as I pleased, thanks to the easy code on the door. The front stairs can be intimidatingly tall to climb, but thankfully they were not icy.
The house is shared with other AirBnB renters, but that did not bother me at all, as everyone was respectful of the quiet hours and kept the place neat and tidy. The bonus is you may make a friend or have someone to share dinner out with.
I would definitely recommend this rental to any friend visiting Montreal. In fact, I hope to return myself and rent again.
