Francois himself is an excellent, thoughtful and great host.
The people living in one of the other room and in the basement slam doors very loudly in the night and early in the morning. The walls are very thin and you can hear other peoples conversations on the phone etc. The “roommates” leave messy food leftovers on the stove and that was disturbing. Parking on the road is definitely free but if you arrive late, you wont find any.
Public transportation to downtown montreal will take you a while and lots of walking required.
The wifi/internet connection is very slow/not reliable. The mattress is spring mattress and if you have a bad back, this can cause you pain.
For a short stay, it is a nice and safe place. Recommend for single people with cars.
