This was an absolutely charming, charming apartment -- and Marisol is a SuperHost!!!! The apartment is everything that is represented photographically and descriptively, located on a tree-shaded street in a magnificent, vibrant, walkable, Italian-French-English-speaking neighborhood. We will return, Marisol and Little Italy!!!! (Highly recommend some of the half-day local walking tours -- invaluable information in addition to Marisol's highly helpful suggestions). Within 2-4 blocks of our apartment, we drank espresso and ate Eggs Benedict every morning, discovered the best patisserie in Montreal nearby, and drank wine under the stars at night, while eating fabulous Italian dishes. Note: a number of neighborhood restaurants (throughout Montreal? We don't know) are bring-your-own wine operations, so it's a good thing to pop in in advance to check on that aspect. Also, depending on the day, some require advance reservations, so that's another reason to pop in early. There's some sort of difference between the "state" liquor stores and buying wine, versus buying wine in local markets -- we never figured out that difference (and forgot to ask Marisol), but found perfectly lovely (and affordable) wine in the local stores and markets.
