JP’s place was the perfect home base for exploring Montreal. We loved how it was outside of the hectic city and in a nice quiet neighborhood. We rented bikes and used BIXI to get around. It is the BEST way to see the city! It’s about 5 miles by bike to town and 7 miles to Old Port. Nice bike ride. On bike lanes and very safe to ride. Be sure to ride to Rene Levesque Parc. Very beautiful area! Ride the Lachine Canal and Berges Ouest loop. It’s a really nice long ride (about 40 miles RT from house). Ride to Parc Jean Drapeau and check out both islands (about 35 miles, including riding around on the islands). Ride to Mont Royal. We walked up Mont Royal; a bit steep for bike for us and it was a nice walk.
Unit was clean and comfortable. BIXI station was less than an easy 10 minute walk. We strolled the neighborhood in the evenings…nice and quiet in the side streets.
JP was a great host. Checked on us when we saw home outside in front.
This is a great place for a couple to use as home base while exploring Montreal!
