We had a lovely time with 8 family members, including a 2-year old and 5-year old. The space was bright and cheerful, and we enjoyed looking out the large windows at the streets below. The location was excellent, and we visited local stores, restaurants, and parks. Montreal is so bike-friendly that several of us abandoned our rental cars (parking is a challenge in the city) in favor of touring by rental bicycle. The hosts were incredibly responsive to our various requests and questions. There are three flights of stairs with no elevator, which really did not pose a problem for us. The unit is partially air conditioned, but the hosts provided fans which maintained reasonable comfort in the non-air-conditioned rooms. We loved the roomy apartment as our launching pad to visit this wonderful city.
