Area of the Apartment:
The Plateau Mont-Royal is a part of the city of Montreal, just north of downtown and east of Mount Royal.
The Plateau is characterized by brightly-colored houses, cafés, book shops, and a laissez-faire attitude. The combination of different immigrant societies--notably many Portuguese and Spanish-speakers--adds to the feeling of tolerance and creates a unique atmosphere.
It is also the location of some famous attractions on Saint Lawrence Boulevard, including Schwartz's Deli (famous for its smoked meat sandwiches), and a weekend street fair during the summer that sees extremely crowded streets.
Numbers of trendy clothing stores have their place along this strip of St-Laurent and St-Denis.
Last, but not least, you will enjoy to have a walk in any of Mount-Royal Parks, like the famous LaFontaine Park!
