Beautiful apartment in great neighborhood. The building has an elevator. Well-outfitted kitchen, which is nice if you bring something back from the Jean Talon market to prepare for dinner. But no need to do that, because if you’d prefer to have someone else do the cooking, there are many nice restaurants a short walk away. Holder, Gibby, Olive et Goumando, Cantinho de Lisboa, Gandhi and many more. Patrick was very responsive, both by text and phone. The only negative was parking. While there a lot right at the building’s front door, be prepared to pay for the convenience. Parking seems to be expensive everywhere in the old city. If you are staying for a while and won’t be using your car much, park under the Bibliothèque Centrale de l'UQAM, on Berri and St Catherine. It’s 2.5 km from Patrick’s place, but half the price of parking in the old city. Be sure to pay at the garage office, for a multi day pass, not at meters.
