If you’re looking for a simple place to stay on a budget this is it. It’s a good location and easy access to downtown Montreal with a car. The place is exactly what it is in the pictures. The family does live upstairs, we had no issues and barely heard them. Ayan’s father is very nice and friendly. You’ll see him from time to time hanging out on the front porch. The only complaint my girlfriend had was the spiders. FYI Montreal is filled with them especially in basements and moist areas. Other then that I would stay here again.
