The apartment is very nice, well maintained and comfortable. Our host Joseph was warmly welcoming, responsive to queries, and provided us with a lot of useful information about the neighborhood. This was our first Airbnb stay and we did not know what to expect so everything about our stay came as a pleasant surprise. We liked being in a neighborhood having only stayed at hotels in Montreal. The location is a convenient walk to the shops and restaurants on Mt. Royal and St. Denis. A bit further to St. Laurent. The parking space across from the apartment is very convenient especially since on-street parking is either rare, expensive or both. We also recommend day (or longer) transit pass along with the Apple Montreal transit app which links locations to bus and subway routes and times.
