We enjoyed our stay at the eco-studio in Mile End - which was a wonderfully artsy, multicultural area of Montreal. Great cafes, such as Patisserie La Ruche (croissants, breads, salads, great coffee), are within easy walking distance, as is the Mont Royal park - where one can get a magnificent view over the city.

The eco-studio space was light, and very contemporary but as Australians, we were way too warm much of the time - so remember to ask, if need, how to open a window (not self evident). The apartment has all the modern conveniences one needs. The Kaza Maza restaurant next door served fabulous Syrian food and we enjoyed both eating in and taking out.

Good value, great area. Easy distance to the city and Gare Central (train station.)
