Great location in the upper part of Little Italy! The apartment was in a very convenient location to the buses and metro, as well as plenty of grocery stores which made it easy to grab some essentials when we arrived. The apartment is a second story apartment and VERY quiet and safe. I felt so at ease and the neighborhood was so quaint and I felt at home. The apartment is a one bedroom but there’s no door to separate the hallway and entrance if that helps anyone. There are a lot of pros staying here. Location is incredible, the kitchen had everything you needed and more which made cooking at the apartment so easy and toasting bagels which was a must! It had air conditioning which was great since it’s a second floor and got warm at times. The bed was comfortable and there was so much storage so it made it feel like home. The only concerns we had were the ants. I think since it was the beginning of the season there were so many of them! Thankfully they weren’t on the counters but they were all over the kitchen and bathroom floors. We weren’t expecting that and it was really tough keeping our infant from crawling over them all the time. Stepping on them was kind of tiresome. It’s not my first encounter with them but it was just very unexpected. The floors were very creeky but not a deal breaker. Just an FYI for anyone. Overall it was a great stay. I love MTL and I felt at home at Gilles’s place.
