This was a great place to stay in Montreal. The place itself is a private top floor of a duplex. The interior is a blissful mix of new (kitchen, bathroom) and old (stained glass windows, solid oak doors). The hosts were very good; they had the place ready 2 hours early at my request and everything you could want was provided (towels, soap, maple syrup - it is Quebec). The neighborhood is not one that I know very well, but it was on a pleasant treelined street with easy access to the subway (called the Metro in Montreal). That is what you need to find in Montreal; access to the subway. Then you park your car and you are 20 minutes from where every you need to go. We stayed here for Formula One - which is the busiest weekend there is in Montreal. This place would also be good for small groups staying to attend a comedy festival, franciphonie festival, jazz festival, metal fest, Osheaga etc. I hope to stay there again and HIGHLY recommend that you Stay at Lisa's place if you are in Montreal.
