We had a very pleasant stay in Montreal at the apartment hosted by Celine and Francois. We arrived late on our first night and Celine introduced herself and immediately showed us through the apartment and explained how everything works. The apartement was very clean, organized, and cheerful, with a lot of windows and natural light. Celine and Francois had a very nice booklet prepared with a listing of restaurants, cafes, and markets in the neighborhood. Celine gave us a good tip on what restaurant to visit our first night and it was outstanding. Our first day in the city, we wanted to walk to Old Montreal and Celine gave us detailed directions and told us exactly how to get there. Celine also told us where the metro stops were located and how to use them. The apartment is located in a very nice residential neighborhood, with neatly kept yards and interesting balconies. There are several good markets and restaurants in the neighborhood and Celine told us where they were. It was very convenient to have Celine and Francois located right below us if we had any questions. However, Celine did a great job in explaining everything to us about the apartement the first night, that we didn't need to bother them. We really enjoyed having use of both the balconies, the one in the front overlooking the street and the other one overlooking the backyard. We had a very pleasant and fun time staying at this apartement, hosted by Celine and Francois, and plan to stay again during future trips to Montreal. It was everything we expected and more.
