My partner and I both really enjoyed staying at Yev's place. Both well-equipped and comfortable, it is clear to me that Yev is a thoughtful host.
I had never been to Montreal, but the location, I thought, was fabulous. It's conveniently close to a pharmacy, for example.
Montreal is a great food town and we had many excellent meals walking distance from Yev's. A delicious vegan sushi takeout place (an extension of the restaurant Momo) is steps away. Also, it's between other neighborhoods you probably want to check out if you have time; you can walk or take the subway downtown to the fine arts museum (highly recommended!), or towards Mile End for more food options. (My partner was obsessed with Patati Patata.)
Book shops and thrifting galore! It's a neat town and Yev's place is in a good spot. :)
