If you are unfamiliar with Montreal, this is a perfect place to explore both downtown and the West Island. Easy to access the main roads while also having a nice quiet hideaway at the end of the day was wonderful. It will give you a real sense of the local community. You can access downtown by bus or train from Gordon's place which is a plus given what a challenge it can be these days getting into town by car. A super experience and we will be back one day soon.
