We stayed at Yvette & Philippe's last year, and were back again this year. We are former Montrealers living in Europe. The neighbourhood is excellent - convenient groceries and restaurants both in Monkland village and in Westmount.

Yvette and Philippe are lovely people, very hospitable and accommodating and even did a grocery shop for us before we arrived so that we would have some pasta to feed our jet-lagged 4 year old.

They even brought us a pumpkin to carve for Halloween.

The apartment is also nice in that you can have two families in it without getting in each other's hair (except when you want to) because the kitchen living space and the living room living space are at opposite ends of the flat. The apartment is very well equipped -- like being at home in terms of choice of pots & pans, different coffee machines and so-forth. Highly recommend.
