John is a very good host. He responds quickly and is very accommodating. If you have children or are looking to go to bed early I would not recommend this place. The noise at night was not a big deal to my group at all. Ear plugs would be a simple solution if noise is a problem for you. If you are in Montreal for the night life this place is perfect. It is close to many nightclubs, bars and pubs. It is also very close to public transit so it is simple to get around. Needless to say, we enjoyed our stay
