Since my husband and I were throwing a big family event in Montreal with both of our families and after hosting as many people as we could in our own home, we started looking around for accommodations in our neighborhood for my parents. We were thrilled to find a very fairly priced location so close to us and after admiring the photos of Fares' very clean, chic and recently remodeled condo, we booked it right away.

My parents could not stop raving about Fares' condo, and that is saying a lot! My mom and dad were truly surprised by the size of the condo; indeed, it is very spacious! My mom, who is terribly allergic to cats, really appreciated that the condo had no resident cats living presently nor previously in the residence. Also, she loved having a full-size washer and dryer right in the apartment. My father loved getting some work done late at night in the well-lit office which he could do without disturbing my mother as she slept as the office is on one extremity of the condo and the bedroom is on the other. Also, they both said that the condo was really quiet and that they slept really well, despite being in the heart of the island. My parents are big fans of the Jean-Talon market and for both of them, this was a really big advantage of staying at this location, as it is a short distance to the market for fresh fruit and viennoiseries every morning. Additionally, Fares is very easy to communicate with as he was very quick to respond to all of my questions, before, during and after their stay at the condo.

My husband and I are expecting another child in the next few months and my parents plan to visit as soon as the baby arrives. However, since that date can easily be plus or minus 2 weeks from the due date, unfortunately, it is not possible to book Fares' condo now for that event. Normally my parents stay with us when they come to Montreal, but after staying at this condo my parents have said that they would rather stay at this condo again when the baby arrives this spring. With that in mind, and my parents planning their imminent return to Montreal for the birth of their grandchild, my mother said to me, "I hope you deliver a healthy baby and I also hope that Fares' place will be available for us to stay at again when you do." Yes, I do, too!
