The apartment was exactly as described and pictured. The whole place was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and appliances are new. She provided us adequate number of towels and bedding.
We arrived on Tuesday night and struggled a bit to find a good restaurant in the area. It seems that many restaurants are closed on Tuesdays in this area. But, Julie provided us a good guidebook to describe the neighbourhood amenities with an icon on her favourites, we went to a nice diner on St-Hubert which stays open late. We also frequented to a cafe near the apartment, which was also recommended by her.
We enjoyed access to the wonderful backyard with lots of flowers and plants.
It was true as others commented, we heard upstairs really well - they were careful, I could tell, but we woke up from the noise of them going up and down the stairs around 2 am.... I hope people downstairs were not too disturbed by us.
It is about 10 min. walk to the nearest Metro and 15 min. ride to the Old Montreal area.
Overall, we are very pleased with our stay at Julie`s. She`s very responsive and responded within minutes to all of our communications. We would definitely go back when we are visiting Montreal next time.
