Dominic was waiting for us in the house, explained everything to us and was ready to fulfill our requests. He also gave us a guide on Montreal with some tips to visit and enjoy the city.
The neighborhood is close enough to the new center (10-15 minutes by walk) and pretty close to the subway (5-10 minutes) which is really convenient since I believe the subway is the best way to travel around Montreal. Although if you're coming back at night, I would suggest you staying on the main roads, you might bump into the wrong people (a lot of homeless people asking for help, but none of them was dangerous to us).
Overall great place to stay if you're planning to visit Montreal! I would totally recommend it!
