This is a basement apartment consisting of several bedrooms for guests, two shared bathrooms, and a communal kitchen/dining area. Most guests are there for longer stays as opposed to a short vacation, so the living arrangement is similar to having roommates. It is a 10-minute walk to McGill University, a two-minute walk to St Laurent, a 10-minute walk to Place des Arts, and is close to grocery stores, restaurants, and public transportation. The room is spacious and includes a workspace, dresser/closet, and a sink. It is generally quiet aside from outside street sounds at times. I did not meet Kathleen, but she is an excellent communicator and always responded quickly.
