This place is a great base for a longer trip to Montreal. It is in a cool neighborhood North of Downtown. The area has lots of funky little restaurants, bars, bakeries, and thrift stores. It is very close to a dollar store, a grocery and a drugstore which is tres convenient for the little things one needs on trips. It is well served by public transport, situated between two metro stops. The place itself is clean spacious and well-appointed, with lots of natural sunlight. And the automatic locks mean you can check yourself in easily at any time but the place is secure and you don't have to worry about losing the key. The bed is a delightfully firm, which is always my preference. And the kitchen has all the tools you need for basic cooking.
