The apartment was perfect for my husband and I. Having a kitchen and fridge was very useful - as well as access to washers/dryers for our laundry.
This location was amazing - it only takes a short walk to get to the best parts of the city, restaurants, and coffee shops. Among our favorite spots are: La Banquise and Patati Patata for poutine, Saint Henri, Dispatch and Tommy for coffee and pastries, and Garde Manger for a fancy dinner!
Checking into the apartment was super easy and convenient.
As other renters have noted, it can get noisy at times. We did not find the street noise to be terrible, but the bass from the strip club next door / loud neighbors next to us were bothersome at times. Also, there were some seedy characters in the neighborhood at night but we never felt unsafe.
Contact with Duncan / John was pleasant and they were quick to address any concerns we had. They were very accommodating when our flight was delayed! Overall, we had a fantastic stay at 259 St. Catherine East - the location can’t be beat!
