This is a great location for touring Montreal and good value compared to hotels. Even though it is right in a busy nightlife area the room was very quiet and felt secure.
The room is small - I was on my own and it was fine, but it would have been tight if my husband had been with me. Absolutely doable, but tight.
The check-in process was simple because you receive a door code to access the building and the room on your own. No need to coordinate with the host.
I had a few questions once I got there and the host was extremely responsive and helpful, which was much appreciated.
A couple of recommendations in the neighbourhood: breakfast at La Binerie and dinner at L'Express were both excellent and were within easy walking distance.
One other tip: I purchased a 3-day metro pass which more than paid for itself. I did a ton of walking, but it was nice to hop on subway to get to a new area or to get home at the end of a day.
