If you are looking for a room to stay in Montreal, I would not hesitate to recommend Brigitte's place. The unit is in a great location for exploring the Little Italy neighborhood or taking the Métro downtown. It's on a quiet residential street, up a flight of stairs, footsteps from the Jean-Talon market and surrounding shops. Brigitte keeps the place well-appointed. Additionally, she was a gracious host, willing to share her local knowledge and help in any way she could. Although we were both "home" at the same time, I never felt like we were getting in each other's way--at times it even felt like I had a friend in Montreal to show me around.
