The apartment was exactly as described and it was a very beautiful, calm, and pleasant place to stay. The back terrace was perfect for breakfast or a quiet moment after a long day of sight-seeing. The neighborhood is fantastic for exploring and as a base for visiting other sites in Montreal. Everything you could need is only a few blocks away and there is a nice park across the street. Parking (except on street cleaning afternoon) was easy and safe. The frequent Mont Royal Avenue bus stops a block or so away, but the Metro is a bit further. Bixi bike stands are nearby. Marie-Marthe was a very kind, responsive and patient host. She clearly loves her neighborhood and apartment and was available for all questions. We very much enjoyed our trip to Montreal and would strongly recommend this as a great place to stay.
