If you are planning a trip to Montréal, THIS IS YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME! Dave’s place is super comfortable and right on a vibrant street while a breath away from le quartier Latin and just a 15 minute walk to the old port and the heart of downtown! It’s surrounded by multiple cafés and restaurants including dépanneurs (convenience stores) and even your favourite chain stores like Tim hortons, Starbucks, second cup, McDonald’s and Chatime ( if you find yourself craving for any of those).
Everything you need is right around the corner including the metro station and if you have any questions Dave and Nicolas will get back to you super fast! This was our first trip to Montreal ever and it wasn’t hard to fall in love with the city at all! After long hours of walking and exploring though, Dave’s place was the home we wanted to come back to :)
If you are a foodie like me, you HAVE to visit these places;
- Boulangerie mamie clafoutis for delicious freshly baked goodies! (6min walk)
- Pizzeria dei compari -best AUTHENTIC Italian food! (5 min walk)
- 3 amigos - Great tacos & sangria! (5 min walk)
- Jardin nelson - An awesome Jazz Garden Restaurant! (20 min walk)
- Poulet rouge -Best grilled bbq chicken Poutine EVER! (30 min walk)
Also Mont Royal, La Ronde (has some pretty insane rides if you seek adrenaline), Jacques Cartier, Notre Dame, Chinatown and the old port are only some of the places you should see in case they are not already on your list.
Last but not least, Muzique, TRH and People are GREAT for clubbing (***keep in mind you will have to have already reserved a table in a lot of the clubs on Boulevard Saint Laurent (the party street of the downtown Montreal) Oh, and for any shopping you might want to do, Saint Catherine is the street you are looking for and lucky for you it’s only 11-15 min away!
If you seek to find a home away from home for the duration of your trip with all the comfort you can imagine, Dave and Nicolas’ Airbnb is the place you are looking for! : )
