Our family enjoyed a wonderful week in Montréal, and Stéphanie's apartment was a big part of that. The location is excellent -- just off ave du Mont-Royal, which has lots of great restaurants and shops nearby, easy walking distance to the Métro and Parc la Fontaine as well as other nearby parks. You don't need a car at all -- just get a Métro pass or use the Bixi bike rental service which is everywhere in the city.
The apartment comes exactly as advertised with all the amenities you need. Stéphanie was a great host.
