This is a beautiful and comfortable apartment and matched all of the descriptions given for it. The host, Lissa, definitely adds a very joyful and welcoming element. Lissa was kind enough to accommodate our late arrival and made us feel right at home. We loved sitting in the garden area drinking tea and coffee, reading our novels, listening to the quiet rhythms of life around us. The apartment is across the street from the canal, which is a beautiful place to walk at any time of the day. The apartment is also centrally located. You can walk to a well stocked super market and there are lots of smaller shops where you can get a good sampling of local farms products. The #496 bus on Victoria Avenue, a couple of blocks from the house, runs Monday to Friday, its called the "Victoria Express" and it will take you to downtown Montreal in 20 minutes. Definitely a wonderful experience and the beds are comfortable, the apartment quiet and spacious. Would love to visit again.
