The unit is located in a house in the St Boniface neighborhood a quiet family like neighborhood. It is very close to grocery stores and shops as well as bus stops. The unit itself is located in a basement and is fully renovated. During the days i was in it was very cold and since there is no independent heating the house often was colder than being outside the house. In the room there was a heater but it didn't work. So it was all dependent on the heating from the upstairs unit. As with other basement there was usually noise coming from people walking upstairs and the roof was very low that I could easily touch it without effort with my hands. In the shower the sink was cloged and when one would turn on the light the ventilator would start as well and it was very noisy. For some reason I couldn't understand there was a smell that I couldn't identify, a mix between chemicals and dust or something, one gets used to in a few minutes after being inside the unit. Something good is that there is washing machine in place with no cost. Overall the unit is okay but the deal for the place wasn't great. I would suggest it if you are used to living in basements and don't mind paying a little extra.
