I want to move in here.
This is a fair-sized house in a quiet, safe, beautiful residential neighborhood, steps from 2 cafes and a small greengrocer, a block from a gas station, 3 blocks from small supermarket and a bank, a mile or so from the active Monkland commercial area which is our favorite part of Montreal.
There are two good-sized bedrooms each with a large bed and plenty of closet space; one of them has a sizable desk with office chair. Good internet connection. Gorgeous living room with comfy couches and big TV. Classy decor, very clean. Bathroom a bit of a squeeze but OK.
Great kitchen - gas stove and oven, microwave, big fridge-freezer, coffee maker, plenty of utensils and tableware.
We went in late autumn so it was too cold to use the outdoor deck, but during warmer weather that would be fantastic, with the barbecue.
The only drawback at all was that the upstairs neighbors were sometimes noisy in the evenings but they were very quiet after 10 pm. Great to have the whole place to ourselves.
Our host was immediately responsive. Well-appointed, classy pleasing decor. Would love to stay here again, quite happily. You do have to climb 6 or 8 steps to enter - not a problem for us but maybe for some. Felt safe and homey. Easy 5 stars.
