This apartment is a nicely done renovation that is roomy, extremely clean and convenient. Louis and Leo responded quickly to any questions or concerns that we had. It was our first experience in the Nation neighborhood and we would definitely return. There are a couple of cafes just outside but they do not seem to get too loud. The boulangerie down at the corner at the end of the block (lturn to the right when you exit the building) is very friendly and has excellent product - the best baguette that we experienced on our trip! The Monoprix is just a few blocks away also. Make sure to check out the sculpture in Nation Square and walk further into the neighborhood beyond the square. There's a carousel for the kids, and a number of local shops and interesting boutiques. We definitely recommend a stay chez Louis.
