Pierre's flat is very well situated one block from Beaubine metro, a small grocery store, 2 coffee shops and several restaurants. It is a short walk into Little Italy with grocery, specialty food shops (cheese and meat), and all kinds of restaurants.
The flat was clean, the bed comfortable, the shower excellent. and a decent kitchen (although a very narrow space). I had to prep our meals on the kitchen table. There is no air conditioning in the Picasso room but it does have a large fan over the bed. The front window is difficult to open: first open the left side a bit then pull on the right side latch. There is no fan in the bathroom, you will be told to open the small window in the shower but the humidity is still pretty high. There is a coin operated washer and dryer ($1.50).
