This apartment exceeded our expectations. The view is spectacular and I can only imagine what it's like in the summer with the balcony. Inside it's huge! The master is bright and overlooks the Oratory; has a separate on-suite. Decor is minimal but not an issue for us - the space was more important. It easily accommodated our family (6 adults). The kitchen was well stocked and we only used it for breakfast and snacks. There is a dedicated parking spot and it was a tight squeeze with our SUV but manageable if we all got out -let's just say we didn't drive much. The area around Universite de Montreal is walkable to an area with grocery stores and restaurants. There is even a 24/7 outdoor air market. We used the store on the corner on arrival as it was more than a depanneur. We got all our basics (fresh fruit/veg/bagels) and beverages. On a map everything looks so close but it's a good walk. Mont Royal is literally across the street. It's a good hike to the other side. We walked everywhere, even to Old Montreal and back. The metro (Cotes des Neiges) is about a 15 min walk but we opted to walk the entire time. All in all a great place to stay if you're a large group!
