I've just returned from Montreal having spent a few nights in Jacques' place. I travelled from Ireland and met my English cousin and 2 cousins from Calgary. The house was perfect for us, very comfortable living and dining area for sitting around chatting. We also sat out in the garden a couple of evenings with du vin, which was lovely. Jacques was very attentive, even leaving Irish breakfast tea for us! His recommendations for nearby cafes and restaurants are great, we went to Restaurant Alep which was excellent and Caffe Mille Gusti where we had a great chat with the owners. It's near the metro and we also went to stock up on fruit twice at the colourful Jean Talon market. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough, a great find for our trip. It really made our holiday. Thanks Jacques!
