This apartment is centrally located three blocks from Republic subway stop which is one subway stop from Station Centrale. There are neighborhoods to explore in every direction with restaurants and shopping. A grocery store is 1/2 block away and a bakery almost underneath the apartment that emits the most amazing smells in the morning. We felt safe walking around the area at night. The unit is cozy, modern and well equipped with a/c that kept the unit cool despite 30C+ temps outside. Exterior shutters can be closed to keep unit cool as well. The bed is comfortable. We did not see or hear any neighbors during our stay. I would recommend Alexandre's place to stay.
