The place looked exactly like the photos, a cozy but spacious apartment. It was very clean when we checked in and had all the amenities as advertised. Checking in and out was easy, and Philippe was quick to respond to any of our messages. The location is about 1.5 hour walk from downtown Montreal, which wasn't bad because it was a beautiful walk but we chose to walk since parking seems to be an issue everywhere in Montreal. You have to keep an eye on where you park and do a lot of research because they are very strict with street parking. Lots of cute local shops nearby, less than 10 minute walk, and a grocery store is right down the street! I will definitely consider staying with Philippe again when I come back to Montreal.
