Staying at Erika's place was an absolute pleasure. The location is very central to downtown Montreal making it extremely accessible for the price.
A note is that if you drive as I did, parking might be a bit difficult but an example of how hospitable Erica and Pepe were was they offered to come with me to find affordable parking in a city where most signs are in French for a non-French fluent visitor. The warmth and hospitality did not stop there. Routinely they offered suggestions on great local spots, coffee and morning beverages were complimentary.
Through the thoroughness of Erika and convenience of the location, accomplishing everything I set out to do during my trip in Montreal was seamless! I would highly recommend Erika and her place if it is available.
