Despite no reviews, I took a chance and was not disappointed by Julia’s place. Getting in was easy, with lockbox above mailbox. Plenty of card keys to give our party freedom. 2 flights of steep indoor stairs. Apartment had couple little issues which Julia’s addressed very quickly. With a cleaner bathroom and a fresh coat of paint, the apartment would be top-notch and super-value. All 4 bedrooms had comfortable beds & linens. Used the laundry appliances few times for running gear. We did not cook, so did not mind the absence of essentials, beside a couple herbal teas and pepper. Endless great restaurants and bars all around. If you come from the US with a SUV, please make sure you park in Excentris indoor parking lot just across (no in&out privileges-$25/day) or check YULIV (they never got back to me). Somebody tried to steal our car the 1st night while parked on St-Laurent right across 2 security cameras. Broke door handle + messed up driver window. Spent few hours at police station
