My husband, 6-year-old son, and I stayed at Kristina's condo in lively Point St Charles for a month in Aug/Sept 2015. The apartment is exactly as pictured in the photos, clean, bright and very pretty. It has AC, a well-appointed kitchen, and comfortable living spaces. The location is also fantastic, a short walk to the Metro, to groceries, and to shops on rue Centre. Atwater Market and the La Chine Canal are also close and make great excursions on a sunny day. Kristina was very easy to communicate with, made the keys simple to find, and addressed any concerns quickly.

There are pros and cons to this apartment for kids. Pros: within a block you'll find a great park, a library, a newly renovated (and soon to re-open) skate rink and pool, public transportation, bike paths, and many neighborhood kids. Cons: The sound insulation between the apartments above and below isn't great, so enthusiastic kids annoy the neighbors. The train that runs right behind the apartment is both a pro and a con; it's super cool to watch and little kids love it, but it's loud when the windows are open (not too bad when the windows are closed!).

All around we had a great experience and Kristina was a wonderful host.
