The apartment was just as described and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The ability to bring our dog and simply go right outside using the sliding doors made the whole trip easier. Bonus items were the Nespresso machine that got us started each morning and a TV (with Netflix) in each bedroom to keep the kids busy when packing. The free gated parking behind the apartment was very useful and allowed us to use our own car for making the 15 minute drive into old Montreal. We didn't let our kids play outside the apartment (there are several parks nearby) because of the neighborhood, but the apartment met all of our needs for a fantastic trip.
