Location is key. Apartment was smack in the middle of old Montreal, very easy walk to just about anything. Apartment was bright, rooms were spacious, and home was stocked with all the necessities, coffee pods, clean towels, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. Only minor complaint is no microwave. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans though, so if you're willing to use the stove, you're all set!
