Lucie is an amazing host from beginning to end. She stocks breakfast essentials in the studuo's mini fridge and welcomed us with croissants and delicious olive bread. Her studio was immaculate and well appointed with everything we needed including a hair dryer which I had forgotten! The bed was comfortable and the entire apt. waa bright and cheery. The air conditioning unit worked well so that when we came home from a tiring day, we were able to relax and cool off. The neighborhood felt safe and was convenient to the Charlevoix metro stop (about 6 blocks). There is also a bixi (bike rental) station a few blocks away which was a great way to travel along the canal to Olde Montreal. Staying at Lucie's studio was a great experience. It was also a good value based on other comparable places. It's located in the south west end of the city which is walkable to Atwater Market, which for us was preferable because it was a quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend staying with Lucie!
