The Good:
The apartment is excellent for two friends and Don is a gracious and welcoming host. I appreciate his willingness to accommodate our late arrival, as we drove up from Amherst, MA. As college buddies, we had time to reminisce as well as have enough space to be independent. The bathroom is large (w/ washer & dryer) and the kitchen is fully stocked. For a one week vacation, the apartment is very central to restaurants, public transit, a supermarket (Provigo) and gym (Nautilus Plus) and Mont Royal Park. Their are bike shops and cafes on every corner.

All you have to do is explore.

The Bad & Ugly:
Nothing really. As a row house, you do hear the neighbors in the rear courtyard, but that is to be expected with urban living. Also, I drove, so
parking can be a challenge, but luckily, we found street parking in front
of the apartment.

In short, who needs Paris?
Montreal does it all with friendlier people.
