Solid AirBnB roughly halfway between Old-Town touristy stuff and delicious food/bars in Mile-End etc. Bed is very comfy and place is quiet. There's a lovely roof deck shared with other units, plus a shared back porch. Place itself is utilitarian, but gets the job done. We did see a mouse a few times, but it's an old building and you're in the city.
The immediate vicinity isn't super interesting, but if you like walking you're not far from Mont-Royal (~10 mins), a great pedestrian only street. The closest Bixi stand is about a block away, making most anywhere you want to go only a 10-20 min trip via bike, which is highly recommended as the best way to get around by far if you're here in the summer.
