Laurence's place is in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood, close to a couple metro stops and many restaurants and shops nearby. Being close to the huge park with a playground was wonderful since we had our almost 3yr old daughter with us. There's a mini Chinatown nearby as well. The apartment has a nice layout and decor. It's also in the city but very very quiet. Our only disappointments were that every closet, drawer and cupboard was either locked/unusable or full of Laurence's things so we didn't have a place to unpack anything. We were a family of 3 staying for 9 nights so we had to lay our suitcases open in the living room, which wasn't ideal. The fridge was partially empty but the freezer was full. We weren't expecting that. The apartment has AC but it's a pain to use (shuffling cardboard boxes to close off the window) and if you use the AC then you can't use the balcony because it's all connected. We also only were given one set of keys so it wasn't convenient. It's a beautiful place and I would stay again if the items I mentioned previously were changed.
