Nathalie's place is in a newish building that is very well furnished and equipped. The appliances are top notch, and the owners do not shy with providing thoughtful and plentiful touches. The owners provided a much appreciated booklet that listed restaurants , breweries, services in the area. We used that a lot. Very comfortable bed, great bathroom shower with plenty of towels and thoughtful touches throughout. The living room sofa was comfy and we did watch some Netflix (using our own account) on their modern tv. This particular app't/condo faces a quiet street at the back of the building. which I was very particular about. Sound insulation is very good.The front of the building faces a busy street. The immediate surrounding streets are not that interesting themselves, that's the job of the main show in the Old city, lower city etc.
The air conditioning worked very well and we really needed it during the recent heat wave. The neighborhood, St. Roche, is a changing one, with lots of hip, good restaurants (bistros, bars, ethnic food, GREAT bakeries (amazing breads, croissants etc), a nice small supermarket) all within walking distance. There were some art galleries which we missed. A big plus was the fact that you get inside free parking which is a huge bonus in the city of tightly regulated street parking. Having said that one should know that this area is a long walk to the Old city and the other main tourist sights, especially in inclement weather (heat, rain) and if you any kind of locomotor issues. We ended up Ubering a few times due to the above stated reasons.
The communication prior to our arrival was excellent. Whenever we asked a question we received a quick response with a nice sense of humor thrown in. However,we experienced some confusion regarding the key pick up which was located in a lock box on a wall on the outside of the building. One quick phone call resolved the issue (ie which lock box?) but we were a bit annoyed at the time, by this snafu.
Overall I'd recommend this place but be aware that it is not just a 5 minute walk to the main show-also,you're not in the "prettiest" part of town. On the other hand you are getting very good value for accommodations, meaning price and clean modern comfortable lodging.
