We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this quaint little apartment. It is just doors down from the bustling street market on Mount Royal Ave. There are live street art performances on Friday and Saturday nights and tons of shopping every day. Though bustling it is, none of the street noise was audible while in the apartment with the windows closed. Last time we came for a college visit we stayed down by the old port and all of us preferred this area, hands down!
Just a five minute walk to our beloved St. Viateur bagels for breakfast & coffee and loads of other great restaurants. We particularly like the modern Indian at India Rosa (great modern cocktails, too) and our very French dinner at the Plein Sud. It does have a cozy little kitchen that has all the equipment you'll need for making some of our own meals, if preferred, and even has a cute little back porch for sipping your coffee or an evening glass of wine outside. Our trips to-and-fro Mccill Campus took us less than 15 minutes by car and about 25 minutes to Ikea for stocking college dorm rooms :-)
Hosts were quick to respond and check-in was a breeze. Only con for us was the WIFI is a bit dodgy. If you have gamer in your family our want to stream netflix, etc. be prepared for some glitchy service.
Overall perfectly suited our needs for this trip. Didn't spend a lot of time inside, but perfect as a cozy home base!
