Everything was excellent, which is a tall order! The accommodation is impeccably clean, spacious, first floor entry which is really helpful with luggage and small children. The parc across the street was a highlight: skating, tobogganing, chalet. The location is walking distance to so many great treats and eats. As well, while free street parking can be unpredictable, in February, both families managed to get spots right in front, or very nearby; Jason recommended a nearby secure paid parking as back up. Jason et al were also exceptional hosts: checking in with our stay, shovelling out our walkway daily, and the family touches were so helpful (pack n’ play, kids dishware, high chair). The bed and bedding are also incredibly comfortable, like luxurious. One tip for nearby poutine: as it’s so close, don’t bother waiting in the La Banquise line - call your order in and walk right in for a pick up! Also Bibette’s on St. Denis does a really nice hot chocolate bowl and Le Parloir does an old school afternoon tea - call ahead for a table just in case :) Finally, Big in Japan, while popular, is a cool (but expensive) speak easy, while Else’s on Rue Roy is a relaxed bar with lots of drink options and affordable and tasty menu items.
Thank you again, Jason and Natalie! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed with anything about this accommodation.
