Marie-France was very welcoming!! The neighborhood was safe and quiet. The whole apartment was very quaint and clean. There was even a little back-yard patio area which was great for morning coffee or breakfasts. The only downside was there was no A/C, the weekend that I was there was pretty hot (around 30 degrees). If you do not like the heat, this may not be the place for you. I would however still suggest this place to my other friends and co-workers who are looking to visit Montreal in the future.
