The place was exactly what we wanted. Close to the Plateau area of Montreal. Everyone is french, everything is french... I felt as though I was in Paris.
Mount Royal street is a thirty second walk... from there you can have cafes, shops, restaurants, bars. If you have a car you can go further in the same direction and see the entire mountain with a sublime view of Montreal... or, just hike it! Plenty of bikers doing the same thing. The apartment has everything you need. Espresso machine, really nice amenities, balcony overlooking trees. There was ample parking as well... especially since the lot right by the house is closing or something.... so we literally had a parking lot to ourselves. Rare for Montreal!
