We have had a great 2 week stay at Ping's and have really enjoyed it. The apartment is in a great location, 5 minutes from the Metro on a quiet streeet. It is warm and very well equipped with everything we needed. Ping was very welcoming and ready to help.
We enjoyed Montreal and found the Metro ideal for getting around. We mostly bought 3-day tickets which worked well. Plenty to see but do try and do the Amphi-bus tour if you can. There are plenty of good shops, bars and cafes locally, around 10 minutes walk on Rue Ontario E, whwere you'll also find an indoor market. You can also walk in the opposite direction and visit the Olympic Park.
