This apartment was very recently lovingly renovated, well-equipped, spacious, clean, and comfortable, with good beds. We enjoyed having visitors in a couple of times. Amy was a gracious and friendly host, as all others have mentioned. There is a very pleasant yard/garden with outdoor seating as well.

The location is fantastic, but renters might want to know that it's on a street that is pretty run down. The block has a mix of well-cared for buildings and buildings that are boarded up. It appears much like an alley, as it looks at the back of Boul. St. Laurent, rather than front-facing buildings. There is also a lot of interesting and attractive mural art on the street (not graffiti, art). None of this bothered us as much as it sounds like it might, as the inside of the apartment was so extremely pleasant, and it was convenient to many desirable spots and to the Metro.

Our only real complaint, outside of Amy's control, but which families in particular might want to know, is that there was loud music until quite late on Saturday night in an adjacent apartment. The back bedroom was shielded from it, but the front one was not. All other nights of the week were quiet.
