This place was just great. The location is perfect - easy walking distance to everything in the Old Town and Old Port. Literally down the block from Notre Dame de Bon Secours and the market next door. But also on a residential block that feels local with a preschool on one corner and a cute cafe on another corner. The nearby metro takes you straight to Plateau and Mile End. Rue St Catherine is also in easy walking distance. As others have noted, be mindful of the curving outdoor staircase to get to the front door. We had a couple of heavy suitcases and managed fine. We used the back balcony that faced a peaceful garden every morning to have coffee and pastries. Design of the apartment was nice and modern. Furniture was all comfortable. Would love to stay there again.
