Polina met us at the door and personally welcomed us to the apartment. She was a really nice and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed.
Nice 3 bedroom/1 bathroom set-up in a residential area away from downtown that totally met our needs during our stay. Nice newer appliances in the kitchen, with plenty of pots, pans, plates, utensils and cups to use. There’s some basic kitchen supplies and a small back balcony to sit outside, too. The building is a little older, and sound travels through the floor to the lower floor. Keep that in mind, especially with your little ones. The grocery stores, theater, Timmy’s, McD’s, dollar stores, etc. just 5 minutes away. The river (and this HUGE stretch of park called Parc des Rapides) is two blocks away, an outdoor pool is down the street, and a couple of playgrounds nearby (one totally shaded from the sun). Overall, a great value for staying in the Montreal area.
I can’t comment on the transit, as we rented a vehicle, but be careful where to park on Wednesday (mercredi) and Thursday (jeudi) from 8am-12pm in this residential neighbourhood. I saw the city give out parking tickets right at 8am those mornings during our stay. The evenings before those two days were the ones were you may find it a bit more difficult to find parking on the street. Just pay attention to the street parking signs. And FYI, there were tons of highway and road construction projects during our stay. It will add time to your travel and it gave our gps a headache! Update your gps or use your phone for most accurate directions.
Thanks, Polina!
