This place is really a gem. It looks nicer on arrival than you would expect from the photos. The neighborhood is quiet and full of resources. There's a conventional grocery, an organic grocery, and the city's best laundromat just across the street. Another block and you can get your morning croissant and orange juice at a cafe on the car-free Rue Sainte-Catherine. A couple blocks south the Place Victoire is a major transportation hub, with easy access to the train station, the airport, the tram system, the bike share system (try these; they're easy and a delight to use). Valerie is easy going and easy to communicate with, and Laurent, who manages the premises, is charming, helpful and funny. Enjoy.
