I visited Montreal for a week during a conference, and Christina's place was exactly as advertised: a cozy room in a great location, hosted by her friendly and helpful son and an adorable German shepherd. If you're intimidated by a large - but very friendly! - dog I wouldn't recommend staying here, but if that's not the case you're going to have a great time exploring Montreal on foot from this place. The room is not only great value but was clean, tidy, and had everything I needed for a week's stay.
