We had an excellent two-week stay at Melanie + Guy's place! They were friendly and accommodating hosts, and they put in many special touches (flowers and a Mother's Day note upon arrival, children's books and toys because we were travelling with a toddler, & fruit, cookies and milk/juice in the fridge). The apartment was even better than expected: spotless, beautiful, quiet, spacious, well-equipped kitchen, in a wonderful neighbourhood, close to transit, grocery stores, shops and restaurants. One thing to note: In true Montreal fashion, it is a 3rd floor 'walk-up' with steep outdoor steps. We highly recommend it!
