The stay in Redgi's place was definitely the best we had so far while in Canada. Since it's their actual home everything one needs is there, the bed is amazingly comfortable and the neighborhood is great.
The Avenue du Mont Royal, where you find shops, bars and restaurants, is in walking distance.
The metro station is not far and takes you right into the old city, there even is a bus stop right around the corner to the station.
Communication with Redgi was superb. I got all the information I could possibly need beforehand and quick answers for any questions I asked.
Absolutely recommend this place for anyone staying in Montréal!
