I really enjoyed my stay. While the accommodations are a bit far from downtown, access to the STM is convenient. If you do rent a car, there is plenty of on street parking. The neighborhood is safe and very clean. There is a great cafe not far from, about a 5-8 minute bike ride.The cafe is worth it. There is a bike rental stand about 3 blocks from the apartment. The St. Lawrence river is only a couple of blocks away and is a great place to take a stroll and relax after your flight in.
