This is a special location. You are across the street from the Lachine canal and the park that runs along it. The neighborhood is attractive and quiet, even though there are several restaurants just up the street. The neighborhood is very bike friendly, a long bike path runs through the park and there are two bike shops within easy walking distance. The only downside to the location is that it is not close to the Metro, about 15 minutes by car or 24 minutes by bike (mostly bike path) to the Agrignon station. We only stayed for one night before our flight out. It took us less than 15 minutes to get from the driveway to the rental car return at the airport. In morning rush hour traffic. Through construction.
This is a basement apartment. Though it has not been upgraded, it is mostly well equipped, though pots and pans are minimal. There is an entry code rather than a key, which means that you don't have to worry about returning the key if, like us, you are leaving on an early flight. Chen and Zuan were very helpful and clear with the arrangements - and Zuan actually made an effort to be outside when we arrived so that he could direct us into the driveway which is not obvious at first glance.
