This condo is tucked away in a little residential nook known to few as the "Place Victor Hugo". It’s a little green oasis just south of the Business District (7-13 min walk to different business towers) in the Northern cusp of Griffintown & and the Eastern extremity of Little Burgundy. Griffintown is attracting an urban, trendy, young professional crowd with its large condo developments and revitalized Lachine canal. And Little Burgundy was cited as one of 2 hottest new burbs in Montreal by Christopher Muther of the Boston Globe.

For foodies, the neighbourhood and neighbouring Old Montreal are exploding with options and flavours. Just outside the residential nook is the HVOR (one of Montreal’s best restaurants) and for meat-eaters, a 7 minute walk westward leads to the award winning Joe Beef (top 100 restaurants in the world). Lest we forget restaurants of the likes of Le Fantôme, Perles & Paddock, and the Grinder Restaurant, or smaller scale bakeries (Patrice Patissier, Mamie Clafoutis); cafés & restaurants (La Bistrote, Spanel Crêpes), Micro-Breweries (Brasseur de Montreal) & even health shops (Allons vert) . Continue walking westwards and the Atwater Market greets you for local and specialty produce. For vegans & the food curious, the LOV (on McGill College in the Old Montreal and on Mountain are a 16min and 11min walk from your home base) and InvitationV are trendy surprisingly great tasting options to explore.

Walking Eastward, the Robert Bourassa boulevard, is the doorway to the *Old Montreal & the Old Port*. This is the historic center of Montreal. Museums, stunning architecture (Gothic revival Notre-Dame Basilica meets the ultra modern Centre des Congrès, squares (mostly work-focussed Square Victoria meets tourist laden Carré St-Jacques), restaurants, and shops.
