This place is ideally located to explore many of Montreal's interesting and walkable neighborhoods. If your plan to is to get to know the city, this is a great home base. There is plenty of food and shopping just steps away on a pedestrian-only boulevard that runs for miles.
The apartment itself needs some updates and maintenance to really be exceptional. The space is sufficient, although up 2 flights of very steep stairs. The 2 bedrooms offer privacy while the kitchen and TV room, although small, give space to gather. For our stay, the caperts and common hallway needed a better cleaning to meet Airbnb's standards. The bathroom and kitchen need more than a coat of paint, really a full overhaul is needed for me to fully recommend.
The owner was super helpful and very nice. He was always ready with a text response within minutes but gave us total privacy during our stay.
Laslty, there is no reserved parking, but if you hunt around you will find free street parking thst doesn't require a placard.
