The apt is simple and spacious. It is certainly an area containing individuals from all walks of life however safety never felt like a concern. A couple blocks left of the apt held a long street with various restaurants and pubs with patios. Great nightlife. 10 min walk to the right you have the Desjardain complex with a mall, and restaurants and arts. If you are a walker you will be able to hit all the touristy stuff on foot. Also right outside the apt is a fun sports bar with good food and drink called MBP. There is also a pub called Saint Catherine's that has a hidden outdoor space inside. Quickie shop with alcohol right next door and cafe accross the street. When it comes to the dance bar's loud bass, yes it is ridiculously loud Friday and Saturday. We usually play rain noise when we sleep so that helped a lot. However if you prefer it quiet at night this is NOT the weekend spot for you. If you're a raver then it sure sounded like the place for you. My husband was digging it. Street noise was also pretty not existent when the windows were shut. Bed was very comfortable with extra pillows and blankets available. Washer with extra towels just outside the door. Someone mentioned having issues with the air-conditioning but it was easily accessed and turned off.
