Have Sonders helpline number and your security code on hand should you need it to gain access to your room on the first night of your stay. We had to call them and they were fantastic, answered on the second ring, confirmed security and provided an updated access code which opened the door.
We loved the apartment, everything was just as described - clean, comfortable and everything worked. Tea and coffee available to make ourselves at home before we explored the neighborhood on our first morning.
Rue Notre Dame is close by for cafes, restaurants and convenience stores. Rue Saint Catherine with a mix of international and local shops is around 20 minutes walk away through some lovely tree lined streets. The locals we spoke to were very friendly.
Lionel Groulx metro station is also 20 minutes walk away and we used this to meet up with family who took the bus there from Lachine or when we wanted to use the metro to get around the city.
