Parking Tips
I almost always find free street parking in one of these two areas near the apartment. 1. Henri Julien (north of Roy) or 2. Rivard (south of Rachel). Be careful though: you will need to move your car once a week for street cleaning. The day and time will be posted on the parking signs.
