Great location. The neighbourhood itself is safe and quiet, however it is close to most of what the city has to offer.
3 minutes to Place St Henri (Orange Line)
7 minutes to Lionel-Groulx (Orange and Green)
5 minutes to grocery store and Notre Dame St West
~$40 for Taxi or Uber to/from downtown.
The apartment itself is new. The kitchen is stocked with basic equipment (e.g. dishes, kettle), but not much in terms of basic ingredients (e.g. salt, pepper, oil). The one major drawback is that the apartment is very small, although this is to be expected at this location. Houses 3-4 quite comfortably, but 5-6 is a tight squeeze. There is only 1 bathroom in the apartment. Similarly, there is very little room for storage. One significant pro is that there is a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer. Overall, a decent place that meets expectations; however, considering the cost, does not exceed them.
