Hello,
We visited Montreal during F1 Grand Prix weekend and we found Tiffany's place to be exactly what we were looking for: Away from all the touristic areas but easy to get to anywhere.
The Host: Tiffany was wonderful! She communicates promptly and is very accommodating. She helped us with transportation to/from the airport which can be challenge if you are visiting the city during a big event week. She also does a great job maintaining the apartment. : )
Location: The Metro station is on the corner so you can stay out as long as you want. The metro system works really well and it's very safe. There's also a grocery shop a block away which comes in handy when you are staying at an Airbnb. But my favorite thing about this area was the Jean- Talon Market which is only few blocks away from the apartment. This is a must see/go place in Montreal. Good place for breakfast before you start exploring your day.
I didn't find many restaurants to eat in the area but for us it was not a problem since we were eating/exploring Old Montreal food scene. We did Uber eats one night and found good choices online.
The Apartment: clean and spacious and comes with everything you need. I think it fits comfortably a family of 4.
The Building: A typical multi-unit apartment building, the apartment is on the first floor so you don't have to walk up too much. There's electronic keypad in every door so you don't have to worry about keys. Unfortunately, there aren't alley's in Montreal so the garbage stays on the sidewalk close to the building entrance.
Hope you enjoy your stay in Montreal as much as we did!
Carol
