Great value for exploring the city! It’s right around the corner from the jean talon market, within walking distance from the mile end area, and an easy drive/uber ride away from old Montreal, downtown, or other places in the city. We didn’t use the public transportation as it was rainy and cold but the bus stop was just steps away. The cab ride from the airport was less than half an hour (without traffic). The studio is on a quiet street but you will find grocery stores and cafes just one street over, and a cute little place for food, drinks, take out at the end of the street also. The studio was stylish and sparkling clean, but indeed very cozy, especially the bathroom - best suited for a single traveler or a couple. The floor heats up and an extra radiator was provided in the room, so we didn’t have any problem staying warm even with the rain and the snow outside. I didn’t get to meet Annie but clear instructions were provided prior to the trip for easy check in process.
