John's place is in a perfect location, just a walk away from shopping, groceries, great restaurants and Old Montreal! We stayed during the week, and the streets were quiet at night, on Thursday evening (our last day of stay) the bars were a bit noisy, but nothing we weren't forewarned about, and it quieted down around 1:00am. It's a great spot if you're looking to visit Montreal and enjoy the nightlife! :)
