Alex's apartment is in a residential area, a 7 minute bus ride from Laurier metro station. It was easy enough to access the city from there. The apartment is tastefully decorated and the size is perfect for a couple staying there.
Alex was very welcoming and helpful... He gave us a list of places where he likes to eat at and we decided to try one for brunch. L'Entre-pots is just a minute away from the apartment and it was the best brunch we've had! It was even better than the hyped and super-busy Lawrence on Blvd. St. Laurent.
If you like to feel like a local when you travel, then Alex's place is a great apartment to stay at.
