We really had a great time in Amanda's place!

The neighborhood is very nice : a lot to do and to see only in Mile End! The closest metro station is a 10 minutes walk only and the first bus station is even closer. The house was very clean when we arrived, it is quiet and well located. Amanda's place is spacious and ideal for a family (we traveled with a baby), and we could even enjoy the garden and barbecue! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to travel to Montreal being in a calm, safe and confortable place...
We didn't meet Amanda and her family but she was very reactive answering to all my questions. She also left very useful tips about the house and the surroundings. The arrival and departure were also very easy, and we felt confident as she left us some of her close contacts in case (direct neighbors were also very friendly!).
I do not see any negative comment to make about the house : we felt at home!

The city clearly deserved to be discovered! During the summer you can find festivals everywhere : there's always something to do!
Ottawa is also 3 hours away by bus and we could rent a car and drive East to see some whales! (but be very careful with local rules to park you car....) Our first Canadian visit was a real success!
