The apartment was beautiful and Emmanuel told us the best places to go in the Mile End! So much intricate detail in the apartment, making it really one of a kind to stay in!
We had a car, but did not need to use it once during our week stay since everything we needed was in walking distance--shops, food, sledding, the metro, a park for our dog to play in!
Additionally, we had some trouble getting out of the driveway because of the snow (we are from the US and our car was not prepared) but the neighbors were quick to help us out!

Thanks Emmanuel!
