We just completed a 4 month stay at the home of Luigi and Olivier in Montreal. We were in Montreal to visit relatives for the summer. It was a fantastic stay. The apt is exactly as described. It is furnished like a home with many antiques. The private rear courtyard is beautiful. We are 2 adults and our dog (10 yr old Labrador, Stella). Luigi and Olivier have an 11 year old lovely dog (Lina) which Stella enjoyed. Stella will surely miss Lina and Luigi's daily dog treats!
The apt is located just around the corner from the entrance to McGill University which is a prestigious and beautiful university in Canada. Downtown Montreal is a 5 minute walk. Mont Royal is a 5 min walk in the other direction. There are many restaurants, grocery stores, and shops within a 5-10 min walk. You do not need a car as you can walk everywhere and/or take the metro or bus for longer trips.
As good as the property is, Luigi and Olivier make the experience even better. They have perfected the concept of "hospitality". They are truly wonderful people. The apt is completely private, but if you need some assistance, they are readily available to help.
We can't emphasize enough that you (and your dog) will enjoy staying here. We definitely plan to return.

Greg, Lenka, and Stella
