This is truly amazing and unique space. There is a deck with a picnic table and a beautiful view of The Montreal skyline. We ate as many meals out on the deck as we could. The living room is huge, lovely and comfortable. There was lots of space for our family to spread out. The large gourmet kitchen was a lot of fun to cook in. The neighborhood is full of good restaurants. The Atwater market is just a few blocks away. This market has a great bakery, fresh local produce, meats, fish and cheese stores. Valerie responded to our communications promptly. There is easy access to the rest of Montreal via subway, bus, or Bixi bicycles. A few things you should know that made it not quite a 5 star for us. The fourth bedroom is really a mattress on the floor of the laundry room. It has no windows. The other 3 bedrooms are very nice and comfortable. There were a few things around the apartment that needed to be repaired such as a leaking sink and a shower that was too hot and could not be regulated. There is no elevator, so be prepared to walk 2 flights of stairs. This was not a big deal for us, but be sure everyone in your party is capable of accomplishing this. All in all we would definitely stay there again. We had a great time and really enjoyed the apartment.
