My partner and I had such a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful apartment to anyone!

We arrived in Montreal rather late and Sylvain was gracious enough to accommodate us and answer all of our questions.

The address is very easy to find via Google Maps or with any smart phone app with GPS. We came from the train station by Subway and had no troubles.

The apartment itself is just fantastic and is much better in person than the photos convey. There are plenty of brochures in the living room as well as towels, additional fresh linen and everything you could need to cook your own meals, including a kettle for tea or instant coffee. There are 4 closets with plenty of storage for your luggage and personal items.
The garden outside is enchanting and we had many of our meals there. A highlight of the garden was the "whispering" tree and the peaceful ambiance to relax after sightseeing.

We stayed for 7 nights and throughout this time Sylvain was always accessible to answer our questions but at the same time we felt like it was our own home and had total privacy.

As far as the location it was simply perfect for us. If you make a right out of the front door you will find Rue Ontario Est just a few feet away. Make another right and you'll see a wonderful produce place, a coin laundry (highly recommended!) and Poutineville Restaurant which is a must do experience! If you make a left on Rue Ontario Est you will find a wonderful bakery (do not hesitate to try it - we loved the pizza, sandwiches, pastries, bread, etc.) and a grocery store where you can buy beer, wine and other essentials. A small farmer's market and coffee house are also nearby (though we recommend taking the subway to the larger Jean-Talon Market as well).

If you make a left from the front door the excitement of Rue St. Catherine's is a few blocks away. It was a safe and comfortable distance for us to walk and we had no problems day or night with anything in the area. If you're a first time visitor as we are, we recommend a stop at the Dollar Plus Store on Rue St. Catherine's (make a right from Rue Panet and a few blocks up). It is a very handy place for things you might need.

Upon our check-out, Sylvain called us a cab to the train station which arrived promptly (including a text notification). Not only did we have no issues the entire time we were there but we are already planning a return trip next year and hope to stay here again!

Merci Sylvain!! Please keep in touch if you ever get back to Philadelphia - you are always welcome!!!
