Yvette and Philippe were wonderful hosts. They went beyond the basics to welcome us -- knowing that we were arriving late afternoon from overseas with a toddler, they picked up some basic groceries to see us through the night and morning. They also lent some toys and books for our daughter. They were warm and welcoming and we had a chance to get to know them during our stay.

We are originally from Montreal and were looking for just the right location -- this is it! It is a very classic Montreal upper duplex apartment, with beautiful woodwork and a comfortable layout. We had a reunion with family and there was plenty of space for us all. The neighborhood is wonderful -- walking distance to 3 different restaurant and shopping areas (Monkland village, Westmount village and West-end Sherbrooke) -- and 2 blocks from Girourard park and playground. Close to 2 metro stops and 2 minutes from the entrance to the autoroute if you need to get across town or out of town.

Street parking worked fine -- we never had a problem to find a spot.

Amenities were excellent and the kitchen is fully decked out -- great for cooking.

If you are looking for a real Montreal experience, this is definitely it. I would highly recommend.
