The place itself is lovely, artsy and very comfortable.The neighborhood is super artsy, trendy with great restaurants all around!
One word of caution to folks driving into Montreal (esp from the US)-street parking is not easy to find in the neighborhood at all with confusion regarding signs for free parking and that reserved for residents of the neighborhood.At times you may find a parking spot with a meter but you can pay only for 3 hours at a time! You may have to keep re-paying every 3 hours for a whole day's parking! Essentially not a great idea to drive into this city.Its a walker's paradise!
