This was my family’s first trip to Montreal, and we couldn’t have been more pleased.
Nicolas’ place was sparkling clean and well designed. It is obviously a home that was designed to live in comfortably and stylishly. It was perfect for me, my husband and our two small children. The most wonderful parts of stay actually had more to do with the amenities of the home than seeing Montreal. Like any great Airbnb experience-we felt like we lived there!
Jean Talon market is a gigantic open air extravaganza of fresh fruit, flowers, vegetables, meat and croissants You could ever imagine and it happened to be a five minute walk down the road. Very European !
Saint Laurent is two blocks away and it is filled with pastry and restaurants and markets and shops.
There is a wonderful and quant little park across the street from the apartment where you can eat your breakfast from ‘le pick up’ around the corner- with fresh muffins and sandwiches.
Our favorite time of the day was finishing a day of exploring (the insectarium and botanical gardens are great for kids!) and coming back to fresh groceries from the market and cooking dinner and drinking wine on the patio. Our children were happy and safe and we loved the open feeling of the kitchen to the Outdoors.
Nicolas is a great host , very communicative and gracious. we are so happy he opened his home to us- it made the stay so perfect!
