Jacques' apartment is stellar! We rented this two-story unit for our family as well as the 2nd apartment he rents out on the top floor of the building for our friends (separate review). This apartment was absolutely perfect for a few days stay in Montreal and would be exceptional for a long- extended stay. It was fully equipped as if we were living there ourselves (unlike most rentals that just provide the basics). It was super stylish/trendy, very spacious, cozy. Jacques even left small touches like a tea/coffee making station for the bottom floor, Q-tips, cotton pads, lotion, and other toiletries in the bathrooms, and a bunch of spices, teas, etc. in the kitchen. The mattresses on the beds were the best night's sleep most of us have ever had! We had my 2-year-old nephew with us and Jacques provided us with a high-chair and a baby gate for the staircase (a crib was also available though we brought our own). The entrance to the apartment is right off the street making it perfect for anyone with kids and anyone with mobility issues. In terms of the location, it was about a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest metro - Jean Talon - (depending on your pace) and was located in a not-touristy and residential area of Montreal, on a beautiful and peaceful tree-lined street, with little cafes, restaurants, and boulangeries nearby - just what we wanted! Also, we did not get to use the patio/garden out in the back of the apartment due to the cold, but it is so beautiful and quaint - such a treat in warmer months!! Thank you Jacques and family for a most wonderful stay!!
