Exactly as advertised. In fact, I was surprised by the accuracy. The neighbourhood is very residential, however, Mont-Royal Ave. is only a three minute walk south and it's replete with eateries, bars, shops. Everything I needed to pick up for myself during my stay was within a five-minute walk.
The apartment itself is beautiful and gets a fair bit of natural light, which is unusual for a Plateau apartment. Metro Laurier is about a five-minute walk, as well. My experience at Redgi and Lucie's was great and would definitely stay there again.
