Jacques' apartment is stellar! We rented this unit for our friends while we also rented his two-story unit on the ground floor for my family (separate review). Just like the other unit, this apartment was absolutely perfect for a few days stay in Montreal and would be exceptional for a long- extended stay. It was fully equipped as if you were living there yourself (unlike most rentals that just provide the basics). It was super stylish/trendy, very spacious, cozy. There were even small touches like Q-tips, cotton pads, lotion, and other toiletries in the bathrooms, and a bunch of spices, teas, etc. in the kitchen. In terms of the location, it was about a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest metro - Jean Talon - (depending on your pace) and was located in a not-touristy and residential area of Montreal, on a beautiful and peaceful tree-lined street, with little cafes, restaurants, and boulangeries nearby - just what we wanted! From our friends: "We loved everything about our apartment. It may not be suitable for people with strollers and wheelchairs due to the stair design to access the apartment, but if that is not a concern, it is an awesome apartment to live in: has everything you need, clean, comfortable, lost of light, entertainment, books, kitchen appliances, walking distance to subway, bakeries, several grocery stores, restaurants, etc." Thank you Jacques and family for a most wonderful stay!!
