Remi and Marie's place on Mt Royal is clean, spacious, and quiet. It is on a busy commercial street but once inside you don't notice it. A short 2 block walk to the wonderful Montreal subway. There were a lot of fast food and bar food restaurants in the immediate area but not so many sit down restaurants with any atmosphere. Warning -- having a car in Montreal is like dragging around a 2 ton weight. Parking is scarce and confusing even if you read French. Best not have a car and use the subway.
