Steve was a wonderful and responsive host from booking all through our stay. Detailed instructions for check in were provided, and we were able to leave our bags when we checked out. The 1 bedroom apartment is in the heart of the Plateau - where all the action is! You're a few doors down from Schwartz's (the smoked meat restaurant), all the bars/dance clubs are a block or two away, a fantastic terrace bar is across the street, and the tranquility of the park is only 2 blocks away. The wifi was strong, kitchen equipment was well stocked, we had use of a french press (ground coffee provided), netflix on the television (but really, why are you inside?) and a nice 20-30 minute walk to Old Town/Port/Downtown (or an easy 10 min bixi ride), and an equally flat walk to the Mile End.
