Aret’s place is very modern and well furnished. It’s right in the heart of Saint Laurent street with lots of cafes, pubs and restaurants around. The surrounding area is safe and stays lively until late at night, so plenty to do within a couple minutes walk if you are visiting Montréal. If you are a light sleeper, the noise might be bothersome on Friday and Saturday night, but the windows do a good job of keeping the living area quiet. Overall, a great place and an awesome location!
