We had a great time at Elena's place :) She was a really nice host and easy to communicate with, even though we did not meet her in person. Check-in was easy, everything was clean and the place felt really cozy. From there it's a 15 minute walk to the Place Saint Henri Metro station and a ~10 minute ride on the Metro to get downtown. The neighborhood seemed safe, even at later times. All in all, we would definitely recommend Elena's place for your stay in Montreal :)
