We came to Montreal for a music festival and only really needed a bed for a few nights, but were happy to find a quiet neighborhood not far from many food options (highly recommend the nearby market) and easy Metro access. The room is a bit cramped (though should be plenty spacious if you're travelling solo) and there if there is A/C - as advertised - it wasn't on and I couldn't find a thermostat, but the nights were fairly cool with windows kept open. But our complaints end there. We didn't meet our host, Yan, no doubt due our day-long festival schedule but did meet his brother and another renter both of whom were very friendly and accommodating. A few language barrier moments had me wishing I'd kept up my French skills, but every interaction was good-natured. Altogether, we found ourselves wishing we'd had time to enjoy Montreal as more than a festival venue and would certainly consider staying here again - especially at such a reasonable rate.
