We loved our stay at Shelagh's place in Montreal! The apartment had a very calming and spacious feel, and Shelagh kindly left us a baguette, cheese, fruit, and other snacks for our arrival, which was much appreciated. Her book of recommendations for restaurants and attractions in the area was helpful as well. Since there is free street parking, we were able to leave our car parked and take the metro to explore the city (the metro stop is about a 5-10 minute walk away). We also walked along the canal to Old Montreal one day, which was a nice walk. Shelagh was easy to communicate with and was a wonderful host, and we'd love to stay at her place again next time we are in Montreal!
