Chad's place is a good compromise to stay in Montreal.
Location
It's located 10 minutes walk to the nearest subway station on the orange line. There's also a shared bike station just outside the building.
It's 20 minutes walk away from Atwater market, supermarket and pharmacy. And the bustling Notre Dame street is only 5 minutes walk away.
During our second week, we chose not to take a subscription to the subway/bus because we could walk between 30 and 45 minutes to be either in old Montreal or old Port or downtown. The appartment has a good location if you want to wander and discover the city.
Amenities
We stayed at Chad's house for 3 weeks with a toddler and my in-laws. The appartment is roomy enough for us all. The kitchen is well equipped with all basic and needed utensils.
Washing and drying machines are new enough and were handy.
There is a parking spot in the garage and the parking outside is free.
There's also a playground for children less than 5 minutes away.
Netflix, TV and a new internet box is part of the amenities.
Building
We were taken aback at first when we entered the building because of the humidity smell. It's not the case IN the appartment -except for the ultility room with the washing machine. But I understand that this is a Montreal problem.
We could hear the neighbors upstairs walk which was a bit unsettling, but this is more of a building design.
All in all, Chad's place a decent place to stay at.
