My wife and I had a pleasant stay at Varvara's apartment. It was certainly a little snug but it was clean and had everything we needed to have a home base for the weekend. The best part of the apartment was the location. It is on a residential street but there is a small grocery store at the corner of the block and it's only a couple blocks from Rue St. Denis where you can find many restaurants and cafes. It's a great spot to be able to explore the Plateau but also have a relatively easy walk into the arts district, Old Port, and Downtown. As with everywhere in Montreal, you have to be careful when parking but we luckily found free street parking on a quite street nearby. We would stay here again. Thanks Varvara!
