The apartment is actually nice and cozy as it appears in the pictures. What you don't see, is that is perfectly clean also. Consider that the unit is at the second level with no elevators. Also, the neighborhood is a bit sketchy, maybe cause there are one or two shelters nearly. Anyway, I never had a problem, never felt insecure. Saint Lawrence market and the Distillery are in a reasonable walking distance, perfect for food, grocery and shopping
