The apartment was centrally located in Montreal, it was awesome. We hiked to the top of the hill and walked into old city and pretty much everywhere. The botanical gardens was a short 15 minute drive away, I would definitely recommend visiting that. We found our absolute favorite cappuccino at Cafe Replika right down the street from Alexia's apartment. Tons of young people and vibrant night life in the area created a very fun weekend. The apartment was exactly as represented on Airbnb and was very comfortable for the weekend. Alexia was extremely accommodating and responded nearly instantly to any questions we had. The only issue we encountered were the walls being a little thin and noise transferring well into the night on move-out day. Otherwise, it was an excellent weekend and we are very thankful to Alexia for hosting our first visit to Montreal!!
