This place was great. Sal welcomed us, let us know how to get in touch with him if we needed him, but the place was 100% ours. There were nice little touches: coffee, sugar, some spices, shampoo and soap, a blow dryer, wifi, air conditioning, a basket of slippers, maps etc.. Great shower. There's also ample space to unpack.
It's very quiet too, as it's a small place on its own, surrounded by other residences. There's no one directly above or below you, or sharing the hot water tank, or running outside your room as you'd hear in a hotel. A great place to stay in Montreal.
