This apartment is in a really good location as far as having access to so much of Montreal and the Plateau. Just outside the front door are great cafes, bars, restaurants, and the metro station is only a few blocks away. That said, though, it can get quite loud here since the unit overlooks a busy street and is right above a busy convenience store where people hang out. For my husband and I (we stayed for two months), the noise wasn't such a problem since we live in NYC where it's similarly busy and loud. We appreciated the big smart TV with cable so we could watch local news and sports, the wifi works well, and having two bedrooms is a plus. As another reviewer noted, I would not think the unit is suitable for families with small kids, but for adults wanting to get right into the bustle of a nice city, it can serve you well.
