This apartment was fabulous for the 3 of us. The living area and kitchen is spacious, well equipped and very tastefully decorated. Although one of the bedrooms is a bit small, the balcony adds additional space and overlooks a beautiful, peaceful courtyard. The balcony off the dining area overlooks the tree-lined street out front and gives you a sense of Vieux Montreal. The only bathroom, which is well-designed for a small space, might be a little cramped as there is not much room for bathroom essentials and the shower is small by US standards. In reading other reviews of this property, I too would agree that you should not consider this property if you have an issue walking up an outside spiral staircase to the 3rd floor. While generally it was not an issue for us going up and down, when we initially arrived it was quite a struggle bringing up our large suitcases. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property. The host and his family could not have been more accommodating, promptly answering any questions and giving us tips on things to do.
