The house is very nice and clean, nice big spaces and a nice quiet garden. The metro to the center is at walking distance, so are some nice restaurants and shops. For breakfast we recommend a nice small restaurant called “Olives et café noir” with all kinds of bio foods.
A part from all the nice things mentioned above we unfortunately had one bad experience. In the add the owners mentioned that parking is for free, not mentioning that there are parking restrictions in their street on Monday and Tuesday from April until December: for 1 hour a day you are not allowed to park on one of the sides of the street. When someone mentions that parking is for free you do not expect restrictions as you trust that the owners would try to prevent you from having a parking fine at all times. We got a fine of 62 CAD which could have been prevented easily if we would have known and would have expected restrictions. We later found out that signs existed (in French!) . After confronting the owners with the fine and asking them for a reasonable solution (this all happened by texting them in the Airbnb app as we never met the owners in person!), they kind of told us that it was our own fault and that we should have looked around. They did not take any responsibility for not informing us, not in the add, not in the house. It let to a discussion while we were at an amusement park with our 10 year old son and really spoiled part of our day. A kind B&B owner in the city of Quebec later reached out to us and helped us to understand the fine, write a reply, get an envelope and stamps. Something the owners in Montreal never did! We find this really unbelievable, this is not a way to inform or approach foreigners and we warn everybody who wants to park “for free” in their street.
