We had decided to not rent a car and after figuring out metro and bus lines it was an absolute breeze... we could get to the metro in 10 to 15 mins. We had everything we needed within walking distance. Couldn't figure out the TV but then again we weren't in Montreal to watch TV so no big deal. Montreal rocks when it comes to common transportation. It is the way to go for sure. There is bus line that will drop you right by old montreal in 15 min tops. We had a fantastic time.
