The apartment, neighborhood and atmosphere were amazing, but most importantly, Magali is the best host I have ever met. During my stay (4 months) whenever I had any question related to the place or city, Magali always proactively and quickly helped and made my life way more convenient. She is the host you can rely on whenever you have any concern whether it is related to the apartment or general to the city. Thanks to her help, the preparation to arrive to Montreal (from Europe) was super simple and straightforward. Coming from another continent is always riskier, although thanks to Magali's hospitality everything went easily. Way before my arrival she has already prepared an exact and accurate list of things to do (for instance the possibilities on how to arrive from the airport, how the public transport system works, recommendations to several outdoor activities, etc.).
The house was clean, the kitchen was well-equipped, the bedrooms had everything included (comfortable bed, writing desk, big wardrobe). Plateau is a great location next to Downtown, but also close to parks.
Thanks to her, the apartment and neighborhood I will plan to come back soon, because Montreal is the perfect combination of European and US atmosphere.
