This place is a gem, very pleasant, comfortable and clean, in the middle of the Plateau Mont Royal neighborhood, which is full of cafes, restaurants, bars and bookshops and easily accessible by public transportation. The back patio is a pleasant place to sit when the weather is nice. (It's shared with the upstairs apartment, but we didn't see anyone else using it while we were there). The kitchen is basic but has the essential supplies you need to cook a meal if you don't want to eat out all the time. Lucia was easy to communicate with and was kind enough to let us drop of our suitcases before check-in time
