We appreciated being able to stay at Brooke's fine place for a second time this year. Brooke's basement apartment is lovely, a blend of heritage & modern styles, beautifully decorated, with perfect lighting, and is quiet. The location is close to good grocery shopping at PA & Adonis, as well being close to the Alexis Nihon Plaza. The downtown area is a closish walk, but also easily walkable are the fine Atwater Market and the restaurants & shops on Rue Notre-Dame. For steak & frites, we like Mignon on Notre-Dame. Brooke has always responded to questions or comments in prompt & practical fashion. Brooke had left some very nice breakfast food items, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. From the airport, we usually just take the 747 airporter, as it is inexpensive ($10 per person, including 24 hours of access to all buses and the Metro), and is quite fast. There is a stop on René-Lévesque Blvd, perhaps 3 blocks from Brooke's place. We hope to stay at Brooke's place again.
