Marilou's place was very comfortable, and fit my needs perfectly! I had work to do, so the wrap-around desk next to the window and supportive chair were god sends. The wi-fi was quite solid too, 11.2 mbps down / 1.6 mbps up. The portable AC unit was, at times, a guilty pleasure, but it actually stayed cool enough to only use it on the occasional afternoon/evening (I was there in July). The kitchen was well equipped (cuisinart, heavy duty!), and I appreciated that the trash schedule / cans were easy to figure out. The apartment is not in the middle of the action on Mont-Royal, but I preferred to be on a quiet, tree-lined street, with parks both north and south of the apartment (within 3 blocks). Marilou was very accommodating and responsive whenever I had a question, and otherwise very discreet. I think you will find the picnic table on the terrace an enjoyable place to take your meals and watch the neighborhood activity, I miss it already!
