First of all -- Thank you to Alexia and Maria for being easy to work with and communicate with. The place was exactly as described and was in the most perfect spot for us. We visited at the end of December and believe it or not....we walked everywhere!!
The bed was quite comfortable....it was advertised as air mattress but it was a normal mattress and was quite comfy. The walls to the place are a bit thin (others had made comments about this in their reviews) we could here the other tenants...nothing a good noise machine app on our phone couldn't handle. The neighborhood is so cute and super close to Saint Laurent Street. The metro is also super close and super easy to use. Get your self a day pass and go everywhere....that's what we did. Montreal is a beautiful city and the cold didn't bother us much anyway! Can't wait to go back in the summer time.
NOTE: Parking can be a bit tricky....but if you visit after Dec. 1st, there are plenty of free parking spots. If you are driving down Rachel and take a right on Colonial (the street the apartment is located on), there are 2-3 free spots to your right as you make that turn. It was super tricky for us, but we ended up getting lucky with one of those free spots and parked on the same block, steps away, from the place.
