What a great place - we stayed for a few months and loved having this as our base. As mentioned, the apartment itself is great, very peaceful and quiet. It is recently renovated, modern, well appointed and everything works!
The immediate neighbourhood is an old working class area, slowly being gentrified - we felt very safe, the locals are friendly and down-to-earth and it has easy access to the Village, Downtown, the Plateau and Hochelaga (which is becoming a bit hip). Street parking is available and we had little problems finding a car park, though learn the local signage - which is diabolically complex!
Short walks to Papineau and Frontenac Stations - lots of interesting dining options within walking distance and a decent sized grocery store at Papineau. BIXI across the road and we’ll connected with the bike lane network.
Loved it and will try and come back again!
