What an exceptional apartment, in every way. My wife, teen daughter, dog and I had such a wonderful stay. Jacques and Clara are incredible hosts. They clearly care a great deal about their home and their guests. They were super-responsive--if I had a question before arrival or during our visit. The apartment is one of the best we've ever stayed in. Exactly as described, but better. Spacious. Bright. Clean. Decorated in great taste. The kitchen is excellent and has everything you need to make a great meal. The shower, fantastic. The location is wonderful; right in a real, local Montreal neighborhood... walkable to so many great places. The metro is nearby. Jean-Talon Market is a treasure. Honestly, I am just getting started. We will return to Montreal, and I hope we will stay in Jacques' apartment again! And yes, there are lots of stairs and they are steep. Keep that in mind. But we didn't mind. I loved them, and found them utterly charming and unique.
