The apartment was perfect for our family (with two little boys). We enjoy staying in apartments instead of hotels because you get the real local experience and this apartment was perfect for that! It is perfectly located near Jarry Park (pools, picnic area, dog park) and the Jean Talon Market and little Italy where there are a ton of great restaurants and shops. The area is very up and coming so there are lots of cool local cafes and shops just steps away. The apartment is right above an excellent cafe so we loved getting our morning coffee and sitting on the balcony of the apartment (there are two!). Alexander is a fantastic host who communicates with us a lot before and during our stay. He was very accommodating and made sure our stay was perfect-we even added and extra day at the last minute and he accommodated us. His apartment is full of really cool antiques, artifacts, posters, books which we enjoyed. The kitchen and bathroom is fully stocked. Overall we had an amazing stay and we will definitely be back again!
