The apartment is in a great area, just a couple blocks from the shops and restaurants on St. Laurent and Avenue Duluth, but on a quiet street lined with trees and pretty homes. While it is a 15 minute walk from the Sherbrooke Metró Station, there is a bus nearby (3-5 min walk) that runs every 10 minutes to the Old Port (15 mins) or Place-d'Armes Station (9 mins). Steve also helped us find a parking spot to leave our car for a couple days since we didn't need it to explore the city. Le Plateau is a great base since it's near everything. Within 30 minutes walk you can be in Old Port, Mont Royal, Mile End, Parc La Fontaine, Le Village. The apartment itself was lovely with a modern kitchen, large living area, and great back porch. There is a large air conditioning unit in the bedroom that works very well but is a little loud (I'm a light sleeper though and was able to sleep through it fine). The laundry machines were also a nice bonus. Steve gave us a bunch of tips in the area and was always available (lives just below the unit) if we needed anything. Overall, highly recommend!
