My wife and I stayed at Louise's apartment for three months in the summer and it's a great apartment. On a busy street, but very quiet at night. It's not really walking distance to downtown, but the public transportation system is great in Montreal. The Botanical Garden is really close and we went there at least two times a week. It's a real oasis in the city. Even if it's far from downtown, there are so many great restaurants and things to do in the area. I would recommend the apartment to anyone coming to Montreal.
