Great, central location for various festivals. Can walk to most tourist attractions in Montreal. Apartment was clean and beds were of good quality and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and common space was ample for large groups. Entrance directly to street was a bonus. Even though we stayed during a hot period, we found that the AC units were strong enough to keep the apartment at comfortable levels. Our host (Emily) brought some fans in case extra air flow was needed (but most guests were fine without). The apartment is on a low traffic street and so quite most of the time. There was more street noise on Friday and Saturday nights but nothing that ear plugs couldn't remedy. It is difficult to avoid this type of noise in downtown Montreal! Overall a very positive experience. If you are a large group, I highly recommend the apartment.
