I loved my month-long stay with Frances in her wonderful, spacious, charming, quiet and cozy 3rd floor flat! Sunny mornings on the patio sipping coffee enjoying the autumn foliage, cooking meals in the big kitchen (Frances tipped me off about a weekly farmer's market nearby) and wandering the many local neighborhoods and Vieux Port waterfront, Chinatown, Quartier des Spectacles, Gay Village, lovely urban forests and parks, McGill University and others -- all within easy walking distance exactly as advertised). Unless you prefer the increasingly-ubiquitous "corporate traveler" vibe of so many airbnbs these days, you'll truly enjoy the old-school comfy home furnishings, real hardwood floors, dual patios, full living room and fully-stocked spacious kitchen -- all of which make you feel like you really do "live here in Montréal!" instead of being just a visitor. Nearby Saint-Denis street is a global foodie mecca and constantly thronged with locals enjoying the seemingly endless array of charming restaurants and night life. Yet the apartment itself is extremely quiet with virtually no street noise at all. In fact the "Mile-End" Montréal neighborhood was recently named one of the Top Ten Neighborhoods on Earth. And I sure see why. As hosts, Frances and Colin answered all my questions within minutes and provided some wonderful tips on what to see and do too. A perfect urban adventure and such a memorable place to stay!
