I stayed with Marie-Andrée et Stéphane for 3 months, mid January to mid April. Firstly, the apartment was absolutely delightful. There were two very comfy beds (one in its own room, the other adjacent to the living room) and an especially comfortable sectional couch in the living room. The apartment has heaters all through the house so I stayed warm during all the cold nights and days! The washer/dryer was a dream to have and the kitchen had all the amenities i needed. The bathroom is small (i knew this going in) but I had no issues. At most, maybe the living room area could've had brighter overhead lighting for when it was dark outside? Id say it's only an issue if you want to read on the couch. (the lamp in the bedroom was great). The wi-fi was a tad spotty, made face-timing my parents a bit wonky but overall, it was fine. Had no problems watching Netflix.
The location was fantastic. So many delicious places to grab a quick coffee or eat amazing food (go to La Maison Publique, 7min walk away. You wont regret it). Super walkable to Mont-Royal Ave where you'll find even more food options. There was a plethora of transit options too. The internet says the Laurier station was a 17min walk away, but Im pretty sure I made it in 12min (I fast walk). There are buses along St Joseph Blvd and Rue Saint-Gregoire if you don't want to walk to/from the subway. Also, being right by Avenue Papineau means you have a night bus (helpful for anyone that stays out late). I felt very safe in the neighbourhood walking home at 3am (speaking as a single petite female)
7min walk away there is the Metro for your grocery needs, a PJC Jean Coutu and SAQ. The Sir Wilfred Laurier park is right there too, which im sure in the summer time would make for a lovely chill spot.
Marie-Andrée et Stéphane were great communicators and Stéphane was quick to fix a blown fuse when my hot water disappeared! Overall, I had a great time and would highly recommend booking this cute suite for you and/or your family!
