This is a well appointed basement flat in an absolutely wonderful neighborhood called Monkland, not very far from Pierre Trudeau Airport and IKEA. One enters in through the family's garage and there is no place to sit outside. However, that makes no difference. There are wonderful restaurants and patisseries a few steps away on Monkland Avenue filled with families and young professionals enjoying meals. We felt right at home, both in the flat and walking around the neighborhood. Carlo and his wife and son were so nice and charming and completely helpful. When we experienced a slight hiccup with our internet connection, they responded immediately. This was a great place to recover from an international flight before starting a long drive back home. We can definitely recommend.
