Having stayed at Les Bons Matin on our last 3 visits to Montreal, the most recent being this past New Years for 3 nights, I can attest to the accuracy of their website photos and also to the warmth and charm. It is not run like a traditional B&B but like a small inn. The breakfasts are amazing, served in a cozy, casual bistro-like atmosphere with the morning sun streaming in. The minute you sit down you are served freshly squeezed orange juice in a stemmed glass and a choice of coffees/hot chocolate/tea. Your order for hot entree is taken which includes bacon, ham and/or sausage and eggs any style from omelets to eggs benedict. While you wait, you serve yourself from a charming sideboard and antique table from a choice of croissants, bagels, muffins, breads, cheese, fresh fruit salad, mini quiches, jams, yoghurt, cereal etc. in addition to being offered freshly made waffles and 2 kinds of french toast by staff circulating from table to table. It is true that Argyle Street itself is nothing special, (translates into quiet) but it is certainly not isolated. There is a Metro Stop (Lucien-L'Allier) steps away (less than half a short block)at the end of the street. This is the main subway stop for the Bell Centre. One of the nights we stayed was a game night and we didn't hear a thing. People exiting the Metro head north or south but not west along Argyle. And while you may not be able to walk to Vieux Montreal in 15 minutes you can surely get there in 15-20 minutes via the Metro. You can literally walk from the B&B to the Metro, travel 3 stops on the orange line, exit at Place-D'Armes, walk a couple of blocks south and you are there. I know this because we did it. We go to Vieux Montreal every visit. The Metro in Montreal is very clean and efficient and easy to figure out. And the best part...when you come back after a day of walking/shopping/whatever, the Metro is so close that you feel like you have been dropped off at your door. Another bonus is you are two short blocks south of Ste-Catherine at Crescent. If you have done any research you will know this is a great area for shopping and restaurants. If you want to shop some other areas travel a little further along the same Metro line to Berri-UQAM (University of Quebec at Montreal). Walking east will take you into the Village (got a great set of cheese knives at a tiny appliance shop) or walk north along St-Denis where there are lots of restaurants, small stores/boutiques for blocks.
