Montreal has a heavy duty tourist industry - not knowing French is irrelevant. We generally aim to serve a varied and cosmopolitan clientele ;)
Try looking for places one street east or west of St-Laurent blvd. - Clark or Saint Dominique. I used to live on Clark at Rachel and it was great - you had the cultural activity and bar scene one block away, but a surprising contrast of quiet and good location within a sixty-second walk.
Prince Arthur is about a ten minute walk from Rachel - but any place between Rachel and Sherbrooke is good - above Rachel gets a little industrial and dank with closed up shops. And the further from Sherbrooke street you are the better - it's like the busiest street in Montreal, with traffic 24/7 and where every friggin vehicle with a siren will head to cut across the city.
I used to live off Sherbrooke street and the number of police, fire, ambulance and whatever you heard on a daily basis, especially in summer for some reason, was insane - and that's on top of the general run and rumble of all kinds of traffic. Stinks of exhaust when you open windows too...
Just a two-cents for ya...
Welcome to Montreal btw! You're gonna love the women...
:D
