Mishel’s place provided us with the perfect launchpad for exploring Montreal: a spotless apartment with its own (free) parking lot and small balcony/backyard, all walking distance from great food and a lovely trail along the Canal de Lachine. Morning strolls along the water took us to the Atwater Market with its fresh fruit and produce and the most delicious croissants and pastries in town. Evenings, we joined picnickers along the canal banks to tuck into delicious food picked up from ethnic restaurants a short walk away.
Montreal’s other neighborhoods are a quick drive away or a couple miles’ walk (great way to explore!). Having free parking in the back of the apartment building was a huge help. During downtime, we lounged in the spotless apartment, which had a comfy open shared living room/dining room/kitchen.
Mishel and his daughter were flexible and responsive, helpful with suggestions on places to go and quickly dropping off a few supplies we needed.
Highly recommend Mishel’s place and hope to stay here again!
