Great character and location. The apartment is updated and decorated nicely. The living room furniture is comfortable and there is cable TV which was nice as many places only offer Netflix. The kitchen appears to be well stocked with the pans/dishes you would need. We slept in the "middle bedroom" and the bed and pillows were great. The bathroom is nicely renovated and has good water pressure. The place is quiet especially considering that it is in a busy area with lots of bars and restaurants close by. The weather was cold so we didn't use the side balcony but hopefully we can get back to use it in the summer. The metro is close by and we took an Uber to old Montreal for around $11. As noted, the stairs leading up to the apartment are steep so if you have mobility issues you should be aware. Communication was great and the guestbook which was sent just before our stay contains lots of great tips for restaurants, attractions and parking. We parked in a lot on Drolet (just a few blocks away) for $12 a night. All and all a great experience.
