The apartment was exactly as advertised - clean and very carefully designed with attention to detail. Ping was an excellent hostess and responsive. We enjoyed staying in this part of Montreal - low-key and local vibe. The supermarket and shops a few blocks south suggest a hip neighborhood. We stayed with kids so just cooked dinner and played games in the evenings at the apartment so can't speak to any local nightlife or dining. I suspect its pretty good. Street parking was super easy. Thanks Ping!
