This is a delightful semi-basement apartment, with large enough windows in each room. The old stone walls make for a very quaint and authentic experience. The location is second to none, near two very vibrant streets (St-Viateur and Bernard), and in a trendy neighbourhood. Despite this location, the apartment is on a quiet street (occupied mostly by biking path and traffic of cyclists). Jean-Sébastien and Marie-Eve are extremely helpful and communicative. Public transit and bixis are easily accessible. If you come with a car, expect parking to be a bit of a headache unless you choose to spend a few extra bucks ($10/day) to acquire a parking permit that allows you much more flexibility. We felt it was worth the expense. The apartment is spotless and the kitchen is well equipped. All in all, an excellent choice for a wonderful Montreal experience.
