great apartment in a great location - close to mont royal, mile end and plateau. it's a longer walk into the city centre but we found it ok! & you can always get a bixi bike to travel round.
the apartment is on a main road so it can be a little loud at night, but if you've lived in a city before you'll be fine!
FULLY recommend mile end - librarie drawn & quarterly is the best book shop we've ever been to, and invitation v, over the road, serves the best vegan food! would also recommend the green panther for a quick bite to eat!
