Excellent location in Mile End. We did not run out of good food places to try. We tried a few pizza places and our favorite was Quebecois from Pizza St-Viateur a few blocks away. Our kids loved the park right up the street. The claim that subway is five minute walk is accurate. There are also convenient bus lines. Street Parking is tricky and you should not expect to always be able to get a legal parking spot immediately by the apartment. We managed to never get a ticket during our stay but we had to move our car around to comply with the rules and parking rules are definitely enforced. I saw multiple people get $62 CAD tickets on street sweeping day.
