A quiet, yet perfectly convenient location along with a super-clean and inviting accommodation make Nancy's Little Italy apartment a perfect choice for any length of stay. Within 250 meters are a friendly neighborhood grocery, several other food shops, a beer store with easily 500 different selections, myriad restaurants (El Salvadoran, poutine, boulangeries [yes plural], Vietnamese, and, yes, Italian restaurants of all regions and specialties), two bike share stations, three tranquil, yet well visited parks, all with Jean-Talon market and it all its choices only a ten minute walk away. Despite all this nearby, what is perhaps best about Nancy's apartment is the quiet seclusion amid all the things to do.
Inside, the apartment is very clean with an inviting home feel, great bed and plenty of other nice touches to make one's stay relaxing and easy. For instance, the wi-fi is quite fast, the air conditioner, when needed, plenty cool, and the provided cooking utensils excellent.
Nancy is nearby but absolutely never "hovering" and was immediate in answering questions I had. My extreme lack of French language skills was never an issue and, both personally and via email, Nancy was very attentive.
And all of this for a price that made my visit far more comfortable, leaving funds for all the other fun Montreal has to offer. I stayed at Nancy's for a month, and could have stayed far longer. It's a great place, in an unbeatable location, and she's a terrific host.
