The neighborhood is perfect for young kids. We were pleasantly surprised to find a sweet playground just two doors down from the front door! Our 5 and 6 year old kids were in heaven. The lofted bed is a super fun component (kids also adored it), the balcony was great for sipping coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings and watching the world go by. Dany's parking video helped us a great deal in navigating Montreal in general. Lots of great restaurants just around the corner (5 minute walk or less). This apartment makes me want to move to Montreal. Thanks for a great place to stay for a while!
