Annie's place worked out well for my husband and I and our 14-year-old daughter. We spent more time out exploring the city, but when we were in the flat it was warm, comfortable and light. There are drawers and hangers so that you can unpack. The linens and towels are good. The only drawback for us was the very poor condition of the pots and pans. The non-stick coating was flaking and degraded, which made me hesitate to use them. Some basic new pots and pans would make the kitchen much easier to use for the occasional meal. Otherwise, the kitchen is well stocked with utensils and dishes. Annie and her husband quickly replaced the water kettle when I pointed out the cord was broken. The flat wasn't as clean as it could be (crumbs in the living room, sticky spots on kitchen counter and floor.) But the location was perfect for wandering around the Plateau and Mile End area--it's near many good cafes, bakeries, restaurants, parks, metro, bus lines, shops, etc. All in all, a great place.
