We had a good time staying in Romain's Airbnb which is in a very quiet and cute (and heavily gentrified) part of Montreal, Saint Henri. Notre-Dame Street offers a lot of amenities and downtown is easily accessible by foot or public transit. The canal Lachine and the nearby Atwater market are also "incontournables", a must-see! The Airbnb is large and has very high ceilings, remodeled over the years but they still kept the old-timey look and furniture. We had a good time and recommend the place.
