This is a fantastic appartment as a base for exploring Montreal. Immaculately clean- bedroom with ample closet/draw space, comfortable lounge, fully equipped kitchen with all mod cons including washer & dryer and delightful balcony overlooking Sylvie's very pretty courtyard garden-& another balcony at front too.
Location is perfect- set in a pretty and quiet family residential street only a few minutes walk from Laurier Metro Station (orange line)- there also looked to be parking on street. There is deli and supermarket on the corner and plenty of cafes/bars/restaurants in walking distance.
I travelled on my own and felt perfectly safe in this area, even walking back from metro at night-streets are well lit.
It's v easy from airport-take 747 airport shuttle bus to Berri UQAM metro then 3 stops north on orange line to Laurier.
It's a short metro ride in to downtown and old town to explore the sights and also handy for Parc du Mont-Royal - I ran there- about 3km, as is Botanic gardens & Olympic stadium.
Sylvie is a kind and considerate host leaving croissants, juice & fruit for your arrival and happy to help with any queries.
I'd highly recommend this place-the only thing to note is stairs up to appartment are pretty steep so may not be suitable for the very elderly.
