I had a pleasant stay at France's exquisite apartment. It is very well decorated and spaced out quite nicely. France received me at the door open arrival. Instructions getting to her place were clear. The apartment was also in good condition and very clear. It is in a perfect location in my book. You are spoilt for choice with restaurants, cafes, and shops literally 3 steps from France's door. Everything else in the city is walkable from her apartment, even Old Montreal and downtown are a pleasurable 40 minute walk away through the lovely neighborhoods of the plateau. I really loved this Mile End neighborhood and highly advocate it to first time visitors to Montreal.
