We really enjoyed our stay in Kristina's warm, very clean apartment. The pictures accurately represented what the apartment looked like, although the bedrooms were rather small. The apartment is sparsely but tastefully furnished, with lots of light. The WiFi worked great, we didn't bother with the TV. Kristina was very responsive to our inquiries and to any minor issue that arose during our stay.
The building is a renovated older three story or so building, nicely done. The neighbourhood is actually Point St. Charles, adjacent to the funkier Griffintown, although it too is undergoing gentrification. We found a delightful cafe / brunch place two short blocks away on Centre Street called Ma Tante Quiche (My Aunt's Quiche) which became our home.
We liked the neighbourhood, it felt completely safe. Not the prettiest, perhaps, but the people were friendly, we loved the interplay of French and English. There was an interesting flea market in the basement of the church, Saint Gabriel, two blocks away. And there was a large park, looking rather barren in late November, directly across from the apartment.
The only concerns with the apartment were the absence of drawers. There was lots of closet space to hang shirts but no-where to put smaller items. And the hot water ran out in the middle of a second shower.
