Sylvie was a great host when we arrived. We arrived by taxi and she came over with a bright smile to welcome us to Montreal and to thank the driver for us. She made a point to spend some time with us the first night to show us around the unit and to make sure we knew where we were going in regards to travelling and using the metro, this was a big help for us as neither of us had been to Montreal previously. Sylvie made some suggestions in regards to sights to see and was very kind, cute and considerate, my girlfriend loved her.

One thing to note is that Sylvie lives downstairs and is around when you need her, we got on quite well during our stay and did not see her until we left (key return) but she keeps her place very clean, quite and bright, which is great! I actually found that the photos she has here on the website do not do the apartment justice. The apartment is an old European style build with skylights in every room for natural light, which gives the bathroom a wonderful homey feeling. Although my girlfriend is very afraid of heights and found the stair case a little hard to navigate she and I both loved our stay and would highly recommend Sylvie's place.

In terms of location some things to note are: There is a wonderful breakfast place right down the street (as recommended by Sylvie), there is an SAQ (liquor store) right across from that, a Starbucks right beside the SAQ and a Metro (grocery) ten steps away. Additionally the apartment is about a 10 minute walk from Laurier Metro Station so it was easy to find our way back and forth during our travels and situated in the Plateau there was many restaurants and bars within walking distance down on Rue Mont Royal.
