It’s hard to imagine a better location for a visit to Montreal — in the heart of the Plateau neighborhood, close to the Park LaFontaine, restaurants, and the metro. There is a city supermarket a block and half away on Mont-Royal Ave, as well as a cafe where we enjoyed coffee each morning to start our day (merci, Cafe Expressions!).
The apartment itself was clean, well-equipped, and decorated with colorful and unique treasures. The enclosed patio, charmingly furnished under shade trees, made the urban space seem open and fresh despite being in the heart of the city.
We were met and sent off by Emilie’s dad, Louis, who lives near by. Louis was charming and helpful in many ways, from explaining Montreal’s many parking regulations to coming very quickly to resolve a minor problem with a sticky door.
The washer/dryer was not operating during our stay, which did not affect us as we had no need or intention to do laundry, but you may want to check on this if in-home laundry is important to you.
Overall our family of five had a wonderful, seamless stay at Emilie’s place. We’d gladly stay there again!
