We have stayed at several Airbnbs in Montreal. Isabelle’s home was far-and-away the best —because we felt “at home.” The apartment is spacious for two people, the fridge was stocked, and the street, on the Plateau, extremely quiet. Yet, great restaurants and shopping are just around the corner. She has all the amenities - TV with Netflix, air conditioning (we used just once), an espresso machine - a treat, a comfortable bed, a long couch for napping and reading, a great old deep tub with a shower, a washer and drier. With her guidance we parked on the block for free, without moving the car, except for an hour one day. The neighbors were quiet, generous and respectful. We felt safe. The stairs to her third-floor home all have handrails. There is a lovely little grocery store half a block away on Rachel. We ate many meals from its shelves. St. Denis and Duluth, packed with restaurants and stores, are two blocks away. We find the Plateau ideal for visiting Montreal. You can see Mount Royal. The St.Lawrence River and the arts/museum districts are a couple of miles away — we accumulated a lot of steps in five days, exercise that made all the eating and drinking guilt-free! But the Metro, buses, taxis, Ubers and rental bicycles are also readily available. Bottom line: we want to go back to Isabelle’s, and stay longer.
