Excellent location! We actually went back to Montreal for a few more days and stayed in another place and ended up hanging out near that area. It is near to the best restaurants and bars. Also it is a hip artsy area and you don’t feel like a tourist. You feel like you are living there which for us is great.
The apartment is as in the pictures. Great for hanging out all day and just coming back for a shower and sleep. Other than that not much to do in the apt. The only bad is the bed because it is a fouton pretty unconfortable. But after being exhausted walking all day, no big deal.
Host was attentive and answered fast.
