I stayed here just a little outside the downtown Montréal and bought a Metro pass that was good from Monday to Sunday. My partner and I drove to the Airbnb and had the impression the neighbourhood was nice, upscale and felt safe leaving the car during the week.
Getting around doing touristy things was easy with public transit as street festivals and summer events may unexpectedly close streets.
Brunilda and Alain are very hospitable and gave us lots of privacy. The rented area is spacious, clean and we used the kitchen and laundry. There is no a/c which is probably fine for 99% of the time since the apartment is in the basement but you still get a lot of natural light. After long days of walking and sightseeing, it was nice to kick back with Netflix. We went to the Botanical Gardens which is close to the airbnb. There is an SAQ Select <10 mins drive from the Airbnb which had great local spirits like beer, gin and vodka made locally.
