Nicole's place is the choice if you are going to Montreal with limit budget. You just take few steps out to enjoy Italian foods or going to Jean Talon to have many different Asian restaurants. The cleanliness is most valued, the bathroom though tiny but very clean and special decorated. Rue Saint Denis is under construction so you might encounter a bit inconvenience to walk along or noise during daytime. Anyway we had very good time staying at Nicole's house. Thank you so much!
