I came to Montreal alone, with no plans, but Miki and her lovely space made me feel totally comfortable in a new city. Returning from daytime excursions, the warmly-lit apartment was a wonderful refuge. The mornings were also exquisite for me, sitting at the table with my coffee and jam toast, surrounded by an impressive library of Miki's favorite books and honeyed tunes of Chet Baker. It was more than a stay; it was an entire mood that she thoughtfully set. Thank you, Miki! I hope to visit again!
