Our 5 night stay here was perfect for our family of five. The apartment was very nice and clean. We were given access to garage parking underneath the building. Across the street at the convenience store is where we purchased our bus/metro passes (cash only). The balcony was a nice bonus to the stay with a view of Mont Royal Park. The gas station right next to us was also very convenient. One of our favorite places for breakfast/brunch/lunch was at the Boulangerie Première Moisson French Bakery at 5199 Côte-des-Neiges Rd, one bus stop over with a Scotiabank nearby. We also highly recommend Kinton Ramen (Japanese), $13.00 -15.00 ramen bowls, one bus stop over at 5216 Chemin de la Cote-des-Neiges and Ma Poule Mouillée (Portuguese grill) across the street from La Banquise at 969 Rachel St E. Kim was very hospitable and easy to stay in contact with.
