We (me, my husband, and our youngest daughter and son, ages 20 and 21, respectively) were in Montreal for our oldest daughter’s wedding. We selected Kristina’s place based on size, value, and most importantly, on the excellent reviews which mentioned the cleanliness and thoughtfulness of the host. We are so glad we made the decision to book, as the reviews were not wrong! The apartment was large, comfortable, and quirky (in a good way). ☺️ In addition to the bedroom and bathroom my husband and I shared, each of the kids had a separate bedroom, and a shared larger bathroom, which was great—and a necessity for many reasons, most importantly to keep the peace! By staying in Kristina’s place and taking public transportation to and from our daughter’s home in Westmount, as well as into downtown for sightseeing, it gave our California family a taste of what living in Montreal as actual residents, not just tourists, would be. For people who have lived in apartments before, hearing people moving around in the apartment above is pretty normal and expected, so that was not a huge issue for us, especially since we were getting up relatively early most days, and it was just part of the experience for us. Since that was something mentioned in some of the reviews, I thought I’d just address it here, and underscore that the whole experience was absolutely priceless for us! What made it even more memorable was the kindness and hospitality of the host, Kristina, who was like a Greek auntie (Theia?). She was extremely attentive and really looked after us! Something I didn’t dare expect (even though I’d read this in other reviews) was that she did our laundry regularly—she really did—and it was so awesome!! It was beyond wonderful to have freshly cleaned clothes all week (and not to have a bunch of dirty laundry to deal with when we got home)! She also worked things out so our youngest daughter’s boyfriend could stay for a few days in a separate room when he came into town. She made the experience of being in Montreal even richer and we really can’t thank her enough! In summary, as said, we really appreciated the size, comfort and cleanliness of the apartment, as well as the realistic experiences, which included quirky, genuinely authentic features we couldn’t have gotten anywhere else! We had a great time in Montreal and Kristina’s place was a huge part of that! We would definitely book with Kristina again. 👍🏻😊
