Location can’t be beat, especially for the price. I stayed the weekend after a work trip and it was very convenient to have a place to easily poo back into during the day for quick rests.
There are 2 Bixi bike rentals within a 1 minute walk. The bike ride over to the Mile End for shopping and bagels is easy and only about 10-15 minutes.
Right outside the apartment on St. Andre is a nice brasserie serving micro brews.
The noise from St. Hubert can be loud, but the apartment has AC so you can shut the windows and mostly drown out the noise.
The common area to drop off luggage for an early arrival is less of a common area and more of a shared hallway.
