The apartment was exactly as listed and in a perfect location for exploring Montreal. The apartment was clean, comfortable, had good A/C (necessary during the heat wave) and great natural light. Great restaurants just steps away, and most sites were easily accessible by public transport. As other reviews have noted, you are 3 stories of stairs up in a small building, but I didn’t find that to be a problem and frankly it probably cancelled any potential street noise. Plus it gave the added bonus of a view of Mount Royal from the bedroom window.
