Miki is a wonderful friendly host, and her place is easily accessible via Bixi bike (try them!) and subway. Some days you might not even leave the neighborhood - take a stroll through both nearby parks, grab bagels from St Viateur or pastries from Pâtisserie Au Kouign Amann (do this your last day, otherwise this is the only pastry you'll want to eat the whole trip). When you make it downtown, don't miss the great jazz at Upstairs, the incredible Museum of Fine Art (and the McCord Museum!) and delectable food around every corner (we loved Aux Lilas the most, but Jean Talon Market was also great!).
