circa June 2022, we thought the rate was excellent value for this modern-styled walkup, stairs front and back, in the Little Italy neighborhood. parking directly behind is a huge convenience. it's very spacious for a 2br/1ba, we spent lots of time in the living room / kitchen area. if anything, there's room for more furniture.
beds were very good. washer/dryer are huge, though the dryer needed to run twice to get the job done. wi-fi: no issues. TV was fine if you need it.
aside from no ice cube tray (i bought and left one), the kitchen was well supplied and we cooked two meals there with no problems.
what did we cook? well, you are a 5 minute walk from the famous Jean-Talon Marche, the huge open-air market which is basically foodie heaven. GO THERE ON DAY ONE, it will change your plans. there are more restaurants than you would be able to try within a shorter walk than Jean-Talon. the immediate, immediate vicinity has great italian and very good thai, among others. also i got a very good haircut at Salon Freiya also (ask for Jessica.) and if by chance you are a boardgamer, don't miss Boutique Randolph.
re: location, the hosts don't mention it much, but i thought the spot very well positioned for transit; it's a 6-8 minute walk to the Beaubien metro stop (orange line) and a 2 minute walk to the 55 bus route up and down St. Laurent; both are key, key arteries for getting downtown or Mount Royal or anywhere else. in particular, the 55 should be kept in mind as it is quite a relief to be dropped off post-shopping or whatever with only a block's walk to your door. (go-anywhere 3-day passes for adults are $21can and young kids ride free.). everything super trackable with apps, you NEVER wait long for a train, and the 55 bus is frequent enough that at worst you might have to browse or stroll an extra few minutes waiting for it, oh no... i have a non-cycling child and so didn't make use of the BIXI bikes, sadly.
having said all that, there's plenty to see and do around Little Italy, and it is not overrun with tourists by any means. we spent multiple days close to home rather than trekking to the "trendier" neighborhoods. we only used our car one day aside from arrival/depart.
communication with hosts was very good, even over the difficulty of a 3-day weekend / national holiday.
finally, i see other reviews discuss noise as a major issue; for us, there was only one night i even heard after-hours music from the restaurant below, and in my book, it was no louder than pleasant "general sounds of the city" stuff. we have kids sensitive to this sort of thing and accustomed to sleeping with white noise; they never even mentioned it. of course being exhausted from full days helped.
