We stayed here for a week while our daughter attended a week-long workshop at McGill. We'd previously visited Montréal and stayed near Vieux Port, which was great for being a tourist, but we couldn't afford a whole week in an area like that and also wanted to be in a less touristy area to get a feel for actually living in the city. This ended up being the perfect place for that! The apartment itself is very nice, with plenty of space for four people. The little terrace above the front porch is a great spot to hang out and relax as well. Everything was clean and well appointed. Our only concern going in was the distance from McGill, but this ended up not being an issue at all. There are a number of metro stations nearby, so getting around is very easy. It's also very much in the thick of the city, so getting an Uber or taxi is quite easy as well. There are a lot of great restaurants around, including some really interesting types of food (Dominican, Peruvian, and many others). We didn't get a chance to try them all, so will be back at some point to eat our way through La Petite-Patrie! Also, the outstanding Marché Jean-Talon is about a 10- to 15-minute walk away, which is definitely a great resource.
Lastly, Eloy and Julie were terrific hosts! They were really quick to respond to messages and texts, very helpful getting us familiar with the area, but not at all intrusive, so we felt like we were at home, not in someone else's house. If you're a non-French speaker or (like me) a non-GOOD-French speaker :), both Eloy and Julie are francophone but very good English speakers, so communication is not an issue.
A great way to spend a week in Montréal!
