Lynda was a wonderful host and our family was very comfortable in her family’s beautiful home. She provided great recommendations on restaurants, groceries, bakeries, and so many other amenities that are just a few minutes walk out the front door.
The home is two storeys with a modern and bright top floor addition with massive front and rear private roof decks that are nicely furnished, including a large BBQ. We enjoyed sipping morning coffee and evening wine on our choice of decks with plenty of room for family and friends to be with us. The home is a cool mix of old Montreal and modern amenities and style.
Lynda’s home is tucked away on a quiet side street just a few short blocks from the bustling Mont Royal and Saint Laurent streets - which are closed to cars in the summer months doe mile after mile (we walked everywhere). These fantastic city neighbourhood streets are filled with people on foot, bikes, ans block after block of great restaurants, cafes, bars, patios, and public spaces. There are small independent retail shops of every kind. Such a great location in the centre of the action of a fun neighbourhood… yet the home is so quiet and private when you wish to relax and take a break from exploring.
Lynda met us and shoes us the home personally on arrival, gave us bottles of wine, told us to help ourselves to everything we could possibly need for cooking, and kindly offered to let us keep our bags at her home on our departure day as a convenience when we were moving and trying to get our daughter settled into residence at McGill. Communication with Lunda was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay.
We were very happy in this home in every way and highly recommend it for families that enjoy hanging out together on a big deck, making meals together in a big well equipped modern kitchen / family room, and love being in the middle of a great inner city active neighbourhood that creates endless opportunity or exploring Montreal.
Thank you Lynda. Our family’s first visit to Montreal was so great and your home made us feel like locals.
