Mariam is a great and welcoming host. And her place is very nice and clean. It is in a quiet neighborhood within a walking distance (about 25-30 min) from the Old Town. The house has all the amenities and features one might expect and some extra. For instance, WiFi is fast and symmetric, which unexpectedly made my life much easier - some people might need to work even on vacation :(. And you get Roku with Amazon Prime and Netflix in case the weather keeps you at home. The only concern one might have is a traffic noise, especially on weekday mornings, when huge 18-wheels trucks stop and start at the traffic light which is almost across from bedroom windows. Keep your windows closed! Most of the time, though, you will be tired from walking streets of Montreal and will sleep fine.
