Sandra’s place was clean and had everything I needed. The family was kind and welcoming. Having breakfast provided in the morning was a nice touch. I loved all the animals (a cat, dog, bird, fish, and pet squirrel when I visited).
The location can’t be beat. You’re a 30-minute walk from Old Montreal, 1/2 mile from a metro stop, and near several bus lines. The neighborhood itself is very cute, with tons of bars and restaurants. If you’re there on a Sunday, walk the few blocks to Mont Royal Park to see the Tam Tams (a weekly drum circle, super fun).
