Marie-Marthe communicated with us almost immediately after we booked, and she was available when we checked in to give us a very nice, detailed introduction to her home and the neighborhood. Her apartment is serene, tastefully designed, and very comfortable. It's in a popular area of Plateau, and it was vey easy to get on a Bixi bike and travel to many other parts of the city. We'd highly recommend staying in her apartment, especially to enjoy the lovely/lush patio.
