Staying here was pretty nice -- I imagine even better in the summer time (right next to a big park that was nice to walk through, even though it was very cold). There is a super cute cafe nearby (Cafe Sao) that we walked to every morning (about 4 minutes away). Parking was quite difficult to find most nights, but if you're lucky you can find a spot on the next street over. This is a really residential area, so if you want to be more "in the heart" of Montreal, this was a little different than that. However, the space was very, very clean and my partner and I felt like we were basically in our own apartment (the other people staying in the room next to us were very nice). A good, well-priced option for your stay in Montreal!
