The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. We loved the apartment, which was very clean and the location. If you just want to explore the city no need to rent a car. You can walk to the next supermarket, underground shopping center China Town and the old town in 5 minutes. And we walked to Mont Royal too. But if you want to further a field there is parking. I can recommend this apartment for a long weekend in Montreal. Thanks Mike and Helene.
