Dear Virgine,
Thank you so much for making our last 2 month of stay in Montreal so memorable. My wife says, which I completely subscribe to, the best part of our trip to Montreal was your lovely place we got to stay in, more so because of the wonderful company of your family. I must say you have been extremely modest in your description of the place on Airbnb listing; it offers way more than what you have described. The place is extremely well designed with almost every piece of furniture, appliances and utensils you need for a comfortable stay, and on top of that, it has an amazing patio and a terrace with plenty of sunlight. The location by the bank of river St. Laurent cannot be any better for a vacation. It's a bit far from the downtown but extremely well connected by public transportation, with Bus No. 22 right at the doorstep, and 185, 189, 26 and Express 410, 430 at a few minutes of walk. Buses 189, 26 and 185 take you to the nearest station in 5-10 minutes, while Express Buses 410 and 430 take your directly to heart of the city in 25 minutes.
The best part of our experience though was the host herself and her family. They were so nice to us, available anytime for any help, proactively suggesting us of special celebrations in the town, and always giving us the ride for our groceries. Virgine even gave my daughter her hand-knit mittens when she realized we were not prepared for unexpected cold in the month of May. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the company of not only Virginie's daughter, Rhea, but also her guests during the weekends, so much so that we felt very much like her extended family. Thank you so much for making our stay so memorable. We will love to stay your place if it is available on our next visit.
Regards,
Sachin (with Manya and Ritika)
