We had such an amazing time staying at Mathilde's apartment. The apartment was as described - lots of light, beautiful open kitchen, lots of plants, lovely rain shower. Overall, the decor was beautiful. Even though it was -36F with the windchill outside, we definitely felt cozy in the apartment, too - heat was always on and hot water was plenty. For our first time in Montreal, this neighborhood was perfect. Lots of really great restaurants and bars that were walkable from the apartment (or a $6-$8 Uber ride if you don't feel like walking). We went to a few of Mathilde's recommendations and loved them. She was very communicative during the reservation and check in process. Couldn't have asked for a better host.

The ONLY small issue was the bed. Definitely not a deal breaker for us but just a heads up that the mattress was really firm, so if you have a bad back, would just take that into consideration.
