When you stay here, you start to feel like a local, since your entrance door is wedged into life on the Plateau. A fantastic boulangerie/patisserie on the other side of the street and half a block towards the metro stop gets you going in the morning. Be sure to have a big breakfast at L'avenue, eat a fresh Montreal Bagel on St. Viateur street, hang out in the Parc de la Fontaine, hike Mont Royal, have poutine at La Banquise (if you don't like cheese curds, they have other substitutes, like goat cheese!), and grab a trio of sliders at L'Hachoir. All of this is walkable! There is even a techno club a block away. A quick walk and metro trip gets you to downtown and old montreal/old port. The apartment looks like it's in someone's garage in the photos, but it's really on the 2nd floor, has a large balcony with outdoor seating, a soft bed, and all the things you need to cook, clean, and live in Montreal. The available snacks and beverages were a nice touch!
