We stayed for 3 nights with a family of four at the beginning of August.
The virtual key worked like a charm and Louis and team responded quickly to our messages whenever we had a question.
The neighborhood is absolutely fantastic, with restaurants galore and a fantastic Italian supermarket (Milano) just a few blocks away and the famous and incredible Jean Talon market at walking distance (about 15 min). Lots of cafes and restaurants around that market too.
To have the enclosed parking downstairs with access from the back alley is also wonderful and was very helpful to us.
It is a comfortable apartment with a beautiful luxurious bathroom, comfortable beds, and a decently -equipped kitchen (knives, pots, baking trays, cutting boards, salad spinner, grater, measuring cups are all there, but no measuring spoons, no mixing/serving bowls), a great double oven, a good dishwasher, and a washer and dryer. They also provide soap, salt and pepper, coffee, paper towels, toilet paper, and a few dishwasher detergent tablets.
However when it’s warm, it’s a bit hard to keep the *entire* apartment at a comfortable temperature. I expected the entire apartment to be air conditioned, but only the living room is, and you have to do some smart placing of just 1 fan to keep everyone happy during the night. It is hard to cross-ventilate, if you wanted to do that and not use the A/C, with just the sliding door on the backside and one small window in each bedroom and no windows anywhere else.
So that’s something to keep in mind if you come in summer!
