We had a lovely time with the hosts and really enjoyed spending time with them and the other guests, particularly on Christmas day. The apartment is really well located to explore the Plateau district and the Mont Royal park. There is everything you might need nearby. The old port and downtown districts are within a 20-30mn walking distance. The room was quite big and very quiet most of the time and we could use the kitchen a lot. If anything, we would say that the mattress was a bit too soft for our taste. Overall a very nice place if you travel on a budget and are happy to share the place with friendly people.
