Mishel's place was really quaint and fairly private. The location was great too, right around the corner from the core of Old Montreal. As the location was close to downtown, I had expected to hear some street level noise which was minimal to say the least. However, the neighbour closest to the bedroom wall seemed like a party group which had played loud music until about 12am majority of the nights (was there for a weekend). This didn't affect our stay though.
As you walk into the place, you do have to climb a little bit of stairs but beyond that, the place is yours alone to enjoy! I would highly recommend this airbnb!
