As they say, location is everything. Espace is well-situated right on Rue St-Denis in the heart of Plateau – Montréal's most fashionable neighborhood. There are a zillion restaurants, shops/boutiques, bars, etc. within just a few blocks in all directions, so if you're looking to be in the heart of everything then consider Espace. My partner and I had a unit at the back of the building which was extremely quiet. We didn't hear any noise coming from the street and were able to sleep in. As other reviewers have noted, the mattress is rather soft so that might be an issue if you need/prefer a firm mattress. Otherwise the unit had everything that we needed – we appreciated the shampoo and shower gel that are mounted in the shower.
