We had a lovely stay at the eco studio over a bitterly cold weekend in February during our first visit to Montreal. The space was bright and cozy and suited our needs perfectly. We didn't end up using the fireplace as it wasn't totally intuitive how to get it started, but Sophie was a friendly and welcoming host, so it is our fault for not asking. We loved the neighborhood as well -- it was great to come back to after spending a day in the more touristy Old Montreal. The dining options were great. Kaza Maza immediately next door has excellent Syrian food and ambiance. And cross country skiing through Mont Royal park, located just across the street, was a great way to spend a winter day in the city. We would definitely stay here again!
