The apartment location is great and is exactly as pictured. It fit three of us comfortably. It is a short walk (less than 5 min) to the Laurier metro stop, making getting downtown a breeze. Plus, there are many shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance of the apartment. The private patio was very nice. We did not have a problem with street noise. However, echoing comments from previous guests, parking can be a pain. Pay attention to street cleaning days, be prepared to hunt for a spot, and you will most likely have to move your car. Also, take pictures of the entire place when you arrive, should there be any discrepancies over damages and particularly losses.
