We liked the location, despite being a bit rough around the edges. Excellent walking opportunities to Mount Royal and endless cafes and pubs. *The noise from the upstairs neighbor, however, kept us from getting sleep. What sounded like an exercise routine with pounding footsteps and loud music at 8pm, or 1030pm, or 130am in one case.* No coffee pot or hot water kettle was a bit odd. The shower and beds were nice, ample room to hang out.
