My family of three enjoyed our stay at France's place. It was clean and comfortable, and my son enjoyed the cat (very easy going cat) and the toys. The apartment is close to a very good bakery and within walking distance of the metro and grocery store. France kindly invited us to pick anything ripe from her garden, which made us feel at home. We enjoyed some wonderful tomatoes. We also enjoyed the large jetted tub and comfortable bed. We found that it was not as well located as we thought, and so to avoid too many train rides with our toddler, we opted to drive most places, which worked out fine since parking in Montreal is so inexpensive (compared to our home town of Boston). It took us about 15 minutes to drive to the mile end shops and plateau and about 30/40 minutes to drive downtown. All in all, we had a comfortable stay.
