Julie's place is bright, calm, comforting and airy. The balcony is absolutely gorgeous, and if you're from a boring town like I am, you'll be amazed! Do be forewarned though, this is in a very french speaking area of town (which you should already expect coming to Quebec!) so it might throw you off, but we all need a little bit of culture shock. It's also in an area that's kind of been hit by drugs and houseless people, but they are harmless and minding their own lives. The place is a short walk to the Metro grocery store, a gas station, and VERY close to the water!! It is so pretty to walk to the park that is right there on the water. I didn't make it up to the roof/ hot tub because I was just so content in the apartment. The bathroom is brand new and the rain - soft shower is just heavenly, with a skylight up above the shower. Check in process was flawless, and Julie was lightning quick with communication, answering the questions I had. Make sure to bring your mimosa ingredients as this place will have you wanting one!
