Andrea's apartment is wonderful - pretty much exactly what you'd expect from the photos - I loved all the exposed timber and brick. It's spacious and stylish, with lots of nice little touches (plenty of towels and shampoo in the bathrooms, well stocked kitchen including oils & spices, thoughtful guide to the neighbourhood, etc). It's right next door to the McGill campus, so perfect for me, as I was helping my daughter settle into McGill rez. The apartment itself is tucked away and private. I did hear some student partying going on nearby on the weekends, but during the week things were very quiet. The only negative for me is that the apartment doesn't get much natural light - the master bedroom has some big windows, but the rest of the apartment doesn't. However, the apartment has plenty of other lighting, so it was still bright and welcoming. Many thanks to Andrea for being such a thoughtful host!
