It really is a prime location! A lot of the clubs, restaurants, places we wanted to visit were a close walk. I will say that if you're not a local, Montreal street signs can be a little difficult to decipher. With that said, the free street parking can be a struggle to find but we got lucky and found a spot. There is an $11 fixed-rate parking very close by if you're finding trouble getting street parking. Other than that, our stay at Saina's place was amazing!
