We stayed at Nancy's place for 3 and a half months and I can assure you: it is amazing! It is located in an amazing and quiet neighborhood. Lots of good supermarkets, stores, restaurants, cafés, banks and subway stations - and all walking distance. If you enjoy walking, you can sure walk downtown, it takes about 30-40 minutes. It is a great walk even when it is snowing! There are also amazing parks and playgrounds nearby and the most famous park in Montreal - Mont-Royal. It is a very lively area but quiet enough to sleep super well and rest. Nancy is a great host and replies in minutes. The house is super clean, neat, well equipped and cozy. We felt like home and would definitely stay there again.
