After an initial problem opening the “lock box” to obtain the key for the apartment which wouldn’t open Nadine was able to open the apartment remotely ( a good plan B for “lock boxes” that don’t open, well done Nadine!).
Nadines apartment was exactly as advertised, clean, spacious, and well equipped. It is a little walk to the nearest supermarket but the small local shop just behind the building is good for basic things to get you going.
A thirty minute walk will take you to the river and most of the tourist areas,
and a twenty minute walk to the bus station.
We really enjoyed our one week stay at Nadines apartment and would highly recommend it. Nadine was easy to contact and very communicative from our initial arrival (and the problem with the lockbox) and throughout our stay.
A word about transport from the airport, this year a direct bus from the airport to the City has been added. Buy a ticket just before you exit the airport, there is usually an attendant to help if you need it, you will need the number 80 bus to “Laviolette” it takes around forty five minutes with a lot of stops on the way! and costs around three fifty CAD.
When you get off the bus it is a two minute walk to the apartment which is easily recognisable due to its so called “Zen design”
One last comment, if you are looking for a good restaurant with good prices,
In our one week stay we ate at “Batti Bassac” three times, once you’ve eaten here you don’t need anywhere else, it is located close to the apartment on 125 Rue Saint-Joseph Est.
