This house was the perfect place for our family of 4: parents + 2 kids. We were in Quebec for a meeting at Laval and able to walk to campus through lovely treed paths between the residential area and the university. Additionally, the house is located very close to a fun city park and within easy walking distance of grocery store and restaurants, and even the city bus. The commute into the old city is straightforward and we found the 5-day bus pass perfect for our family without a car. The bonus was the the bus was free for our 11 year old on the week-end. And, the best kept secret are the pool in the back that Odile will let you use with permission and her sweet, sweet dogs; one of whom loves to swim with kids.
