Simone’s Place was great. It is conveniently located; very close to public transportation, many local restaurants, and tourist areas. It is several rooms and one shared bathroom but we rarely had any issues with schedules. We were able to use the fridge to store food and kitchen to prepare meals. There is a laundromat under his apartment if needed, and a delicious Asian restaurant we enjoyed on the first night. Simon is very friendly, easy going and will go out of his way to help you have a good experience. It was exactly what we needed for our exploration of Montreal!
