Elaine was pleasant to communicate with.
Her “apartment” is simply a basement where she has make shifted a kitchen by adding a stove. There’s a sink & washer & dryer on the other side of the wall. Only Elaine has access to lock the door that separates your rented area & her home. No safe is provided.
The king size bed is two full size box springs pushed together. A thin cushion above it. It was VERY uncomfortable, comparable to sleeping on a floor. (I’m not exaggerating)
If you’re renting to visit the hospital as previously mentioned by other guests it would be perfect.
If your a couple looking to have a get away in Montreal I would suggest looking elsewhere. There isn’t a sound barrier from you & her living quarters.
It also is two blocks from a bus stop. However, To use metro transit to get to the “old port” or downtown requires multiple transfers & will take 90+ minutes each way.
Uber’s are $25-$35 each way non peak, expect to pay $60-$80 during surge rates & times. Which was shockingly very frequent in Montreal.
The neighborhood is quiet.
The only restaurants in reasonable walking distance are fast food or counter service Chinese in the mini strip mall a few blocks away.
