My family (2 adults and 3 teens) stayed at Obi's place for five nights in late August. We used it as a base to explore different areas of Montreal - by car and bus/metro. The condo's located a couple of blocks from the St Lawrence River and its miles of bike/rollerblade/walking paths. Every morning I walked for an hour - delightful.
Pros:
1. Great location if you want to use the paths.
2. Across the street from a bus stop that takes you to the Metro (15-minute bus ride). Or parking at the closest Metro station is $12 CN/day.
3. Off-street parking.
Cons:
1. As a newer listing, Obi needs to work out the details of what guests need. Not enough towels, silverware, etc.
2. An overview/guide would be nice to explain the public transportation situation and local restaurants/shops. We used public transport on weekdays (because the traffic was a nightmare) and then drove into the city on weekends.
- Bus costs $3.50 CN for riders 12+. MUST HAVE CORRECT CHANGE. Under 12 is free with an adult fare.
- Many shopping malls have discounted parking after business hours and on weekends.
- Not all restaurants in the area are open on Sunday/Monday or Monday/Tuesday.
3. The washer/dryer is not in the unit.
4. No coffee maker.
5. The neighborhood is not quiet. However, the air conditioner masked the outside noises.
