This was a great apartment, and we all felt VERY lucky to have found it. Just 2 blocks from the Metro, it was an easy walk to hop on a train to get to other areas, but we liked the neighborhood and found good restaurants and shops nearby, as well. There were several small markets nearby to pick up wine and a few items to stock the kitchen. Plus a really large supermarket on Mont Royal (maybe 5 blocks away) if you want more than just the basics, which we didn't really need. The décor was really cool. Kitchen had pretty much everything we needed and even came with a keurig and kcups. Loved the little patio out back and spent a lot of time out there (even though not much of a view it was great to have outdoor space!) The Wi-Fi came in handy. Ample towels were available in the bathrooms. Really everything we needed was provided. The manager was easy to reach by phone and provided a quality level of service. Three small items to note: 1) the a/c is only in the kitchen/dining room so bedrooms got stuffy when we closed the doors at night. 2) the shower door has a narrow opening that you have to squeeze through (but the other bathroom shower has a tub which is easy to get in & out). 3) This apartment was on the 2nd floor and just one flight of stairs up (no problem) but there was another apartment one additional floor up that would have been a pain to lug suitcases up to, so was glad picked this one. Nothing to deter you from renting, just an FYI. Overall, this was a GREAT find and HIGHLY recommend!
