Sonder in Old Montreal is a great place to stay for visiting the historical sites, walking distance to the downtown area and the Metro system is within close approximaty. New grocery stores in the area make it easy to purchase food for home-cooked meals, however, there are excellent restaurants in the neighbourhood. I love this location as its quiet and not within the core of the downtown area. You can easily stroll along the maginficiant St. Laurence River or rent a bike and visit the outskirts of Montreal. I highly recommend Sonder and this location.
