The apartment was well appointed and clean. It’s located on a pedestrian only street but it’s close enough to the corner for taxi/Uber drop offs. The neighborhood is VERY lively, meaning parties until sunrise with drunk people in the streets at all hours of the night till morning! It’s definitely audible from the apartment but the hum of the AC unit drowned it out for the most part.
Pros:
*Lively location if the noise isn’t a bother to you.
*Easy walk to metro, downtown, jazz festival. About 20-25 mins into Old Montréal.
*Lots of restaurants and cafes just steps away
*Nice park < 5 min walk
*Grocery store right across the street (very convenient)
*Super responsive host
*Free high chair and playpen (which we used as a crib for nighttime). Also included children cups, bowls, plates and utensils.
*Keyless entry was super easy
*Lots of towels and rags
*Body wash and shampoo/conditioning in the bathroom
*AC
Cons:
*Very lively areas which can be a bother if you’re looking for peace and quiet.
*No elevator
*Definitely a grungy, 20s something type crowd (but it still worked for our family set up). A guy on the corner held a sign saying “Need money for drugs” just to give you an idea!
