We had a wonderful stay at Hugo’s apartment. It is a great location - right opposite Parc la Fontaine and adjacent to Rue Rachel which has lots of restaurants, cafes, and stores in walking distance - and manages not to be too noisy or hectic. There is a good convenience store just on the corner about 1 min from the apartment. Old Montreal and the Port were about 10 minutes drive (I believe walking is about 40 mins but it was raining so we drove!) and we also drove up to Mount Royal in about 15 minutes.
The apartment itself is much more spacious than I was expecting - there is a small living room when you first enter and then two children’s bedrooms and a large family bathroom. Then upstairs there is an open plan living room and kitchen a small washroom and the master bedroom. There are also some small outdoor areas but we didn’t use these as it was too cold and wet. Everything was super clean, well equipped and comfortable and the space felt very homely which is so nice to come back to after a busy day exploring the city. If you have young children it’s a great place to stay as has loads of books, toys, and essential equipment like plastic bowls/cups, changing mat, bath toys, bed guard etc.
Parking was a little tricky as most of the spaces are resident parking but we did manage to find a couple of spaces within a short walk of the apartment which were fine to park short term - just make sure you read the signs properly as it’s a little confusing (especially if your French is rusty like mine).
Oh and top tip - go to Yokato Yokabai for ramen - it was about 10 mins walk (down Rue Rachel) from the apartment and the food was delicious and great value.
Thank you for a wonderful stay - we would love to come back and visit Montreal again and stay at your apartment again some time.
