We enjoyed our stay in this Monkland apartment. The hosts, Véronique and her husband, were very nice and helpful. The apartment is very clean, quiet, comfortable, has a well-equiped kitchen and a washer and dryer. If you wish to stay in a "real" top notch Montreal neighborhood and not the loud, touristy parts of Montreal, then Monkland fits the bill. Monkland is safe and quiet with many good restaurants and cafes along Monkland and Sherbrooke avenues. Very good subway and bus connections in the neighborhood will get you to downtown very quickly.
