We had an excellent stay at Le Botaniste. The kitchen has plenty of cooking utensils and dishes, and the laundry machines are a nice touch. The apartment is on a quiet street but there are shops close by, and it only took about 30 minutes to get downtown via the bus/metro. The space is very clean and stylishly furnished - we felt very at home and Denis went above and beyond by sending us an email about stores /services in the area, detailed directions on how to get to the apartment etc. It is a great quiet apartment to escape to after spending the day downtown.
