The apartment is great and has everything we needed for our family (including 2 small kids). We felt extremely comfortable and really enjoyed our stay. Having our own quiet back patio in the summer was such a bonus. And Chito was always helpful and quick to respond to our questions.
We typically stay in more central areas when we travel which allows us lots of walkability and easy access to art, culture, coffee shops, and restaurants, etc. This is definitely more suburban and the congested Montreal traffic required that we give a bit more forethought to leaving (or risk being stuck in traffic). But the subway was very accessible and probably an even faster/easier way to get around the city. Parking was also tricky, but that's my experience anywhere in Montreal. We always found a spot, but had to be conscientious about moving the car at certain times. Overall, it was fantastic and I'd totally recommend it.
