Our stay at Nikki's place was great. The pictures are wonderfully accurate. Rarely is a place nicer than its pictures! This was our first visit to Montreal, my husband 14 yr old daughter and I. The flat was very clean and the design elements and other thoughtful touches made it feel luxurious. The location is great- convenient to a street with shops, restaurants, groceries, drugstore, etc. but tucked away on a cozy side street perpendicular to a pedestrian mall with charming restaurants with outside seating. It is walking distance to Place des Arts, Mont Royal, Plateau Mont-Royal. We only took the metro once, preferring to explore on foot or by Bixie bike. But the flat was so nice we enjoyed spending time just hanging out there. Street parking was not available but we found a convenient surface lot just a few blocks away, where we were very comfortable leaving our car. Nikki responded quickly and helpfully to our questions. I would highly recommend this place to others.
