The apartment is exactly as described and shown. Check in was very easy. Everything in the apartment was immaculate, and the kitchen was well appointed. We appreciated real wine glasses!

The neighborhood can best be described as "real", one where people raise children and get up and go to work. If one is looking for a Starbucks on every corner, this is not the place. Within a short walk one can find places to eat (try Voltaire for a date night) and buy groceries.

In less than half a block you find the Metro. Getting around could not be easier. Alexandre and Caroline let us use their parking space in the back, which was much appreciated. We were able to park the car and use public transportation exclusively.

We would recommend this apartment for a couple that would like to experience a non-touristy slice of Montreal.
