Yannick's is the perfect place to stay in Montréal. I'll talk about 1. Location, 2. the apartment, 3. Yannick
Location: PERFECT! it's a short walk from either the Laurier or Mont-Royal Métro station. Bixi stations are available at various places throughout the neighborhood. Blvds Saint Laurent and Mont Royal are just a few minutes away with supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, ice cream spots, boutiques and book stores.
The Apartment: It is spotless, quiet, so cozy and tastefully decorated. The comfortable bed was so appreciated after a long day of walking (a rare find at Airbnb's). The shower pressure is perfect and the kitchen has everything you could need. We appreciated having a clean refrigerator with fresh bottles of water, coffee, and milk. The espresso machine makes as good of a coffee that you'll get at a café. The little back patio is nice for relaxing after dinner or a day out walking. We felt like locals coming back to our own little place. It was so welcoming!
Yannick was the perfect type of host! He is a great communicator in planning our arrival. He helped us find a parking space on the right side of the street where we wouldn't get a ticket. He showed us around the place and was nearby if we needed or wanted suggestions. He was truly interested in our experience and interests and is a sweet, fascinating, respectful, and discreet human being.
I highly recommend his place, and we look forward to staying at his place again in the future - hopefully, for longer stays!
