This is a nice place, especially for the value. The neighborhood is quiet as many others have stated. It is great if you are wanting a restful trip. We enjoyed the proximity to the park and to the Bixi bike station. It is maybe a 20ish minute walk to certain points of interest which was doable for us because the weather was so great and we enjoyed the walk. I'm not sure about winter. Ride-shares were readily available though. Overall, the value of the rental was great.
