1008 avenue Van Horne

486 rue Beaubien
Est or Ouest not specified in the text though Est seems more likely. Using Google Street View the street number could not be seen, though numbers above and below 486 are visible.
Note: Apt. d'Amours
The title Apt. d'Amours is used throughout the text. A photograph of the apartment at the beginning of the book reveals that it bore the street number 1000. At the end of the book in "Author's Notes" we read that the building was, "not far from the bike path in Rosemont." No apartment with this name could be found via Google Street View at the address 1000 on any of the intersections in Rosemont. Pictured here is 1000 boulevard Rosemont, located beside the bike path. The structure appears to be a new condo development.
