Don't be deceived by the well-worn entryway of this home on the bustling Mont-Royal Ave.... Once you open the door to the Apt 2 residence, all fears will be assuaged. Mike and the LiVe team make sure that the house feels like a home (really, truly). Every detail for things that we needed were at our fingertips, and the LOCATION is immense. For busy travelers like myself and my boyfriend, we like to have restaurants, the Metro, the grocery store, and pharmacy all at our fingertips, and this location provided that in spades.
The tradeoff? Because you're on a busy street that has nightlife and lots of traffic, noise comes along with that. While we're able to sleep through everything, note that the noise will continue on the street (and often in the building) until the wee hours in the morning (usually 2am or 3am). If the building noise was too much for us, we were ensured that Mike was just a phone call away to prevent that from happening.
As a person who takes my business with me when I travel, wifi is essential. I can state with ease that the wifi was always on point and strong.... no problems there.
Also, many other travelers leave their condiments and unperishables for others to enjoy.... don't do what we did and spend money on cayanne, salt and pepper - check the cabinets to see what is there before spending your own hard-earned CAD (wish we had).
We loved our stay in this flat. It felt like a home away from home and we look forward to staying again in the future.
