Myriams apartment is the perfect place to stay if you want to visit Montreal. It's definitely a more residential neighborhood but is very charming with a handful of shops and restaurants right around the corner. The apartment is perfect, very sparsely decorated but super clean, clearly just a rental property, but everything we needed was there. It's close enough to all the main attractions of the city (and there are multiple bike rental kiosks within a few blocks) but it's also a great place to retreat to after a day of exploring. Possibly our favorite thing about it was the proximity to the Jean Talon market, which is a pretty spectacular open-air market that is surrounded by more restaurants and markets, especially great this time of year. It's an ideal place to start and we ended up there at least once every day. Very highly recommended!
