There are so many great aspects to Susie's place that it's hard to know where to begin. First off the location is perfect for any tourist coming to Montreal. It's easy to get just about any where you'd want to visit - Old Montreal, Mont Royal, Mile End, Downtown, etc. We came in the summer so we used Bixi bikes (the city bike share) to get everywhere but I'm sure the bus/metro would be easy to use (3 day unlimited is only $19). Plus we always saw taxis and , of course, Uber is an option. The parking spot out back is a bonus if you have a car, but if you're just coming to see Montreal don't bother renting a car. There are lots of great restaurants and cafes within walking distance and a grocery store is only two blocks away.
The apartment itself is much larger than we expected - a HUGE living room and dining room/kitchen. The kitchen has any utensil/pot/dish you'd every need. There are ridiculous amount of towels available. The place really feels like a home. When we were there it was typical summer weather (80's) and the apartment was very comfortable.
