We have been going to Montreal for many years and Jessica's place is the nicest we have stayed at for a multitude of reasons. I will list them: Quiet, even though you are right near some bustling busy streets, the house is situated so the sounds are minimized. There were no sounds at all to interrupt one's sleep, we have never been in a quieter place in the heart of Montreal.
Amenities: New large fridge, could have stored tons of food, plus it has every other appliance you could think of all new or of a newer nature. All the furniture was super comfortable which made it so nice to come back, take your shoes off and put your feet up after being out on the town all day. Throw carpets throughout made it feel like you were at a relatives more than renting a flat.
Beds: One of the most important things in staying away is trying to get a good night's sleep, so if you have a bed which doesn't let you sleep soundly, it will ruin your whole time away. The beds were great, firm, but not hard, they were just plain comfortable. As for pillows, I am really fussy on the type of pillow I have, Jessica's gives you a wide variety of pillows to choose from, I found one that worked well for me.
Bath: Nice thick towels, lots of shampoo and soap, loads of spare toilet paper. My wife asked if there was a hairdryer before we left as it meant she didn't need to pack one and yes there was what looked like a brand new one, made her very happy.
Communication: Jessica was so responsive and helpful that shows she obviously takes pride in what she does and truly cares about the comfort of her guests. Any questions I had she was back to me most times in minutes, very attentive. The welcome sheet was I think 4 pages long, offering tips on where to go to eat, how to get from point A to B, where to find bakeries, grocery stores, liquor stores. She went so far as to give a bit of a review on each of the dinning spots which also gave you a heads up to how they were priced. Really informative.
Back Patio: What is the point in going to Montreal (in summer) if you can't sit out and have a glass of wine. It is nice to be able to do this after a long day out in the privacy of your own flat. What a great spot for this at Jessica's. There is a quiet, little community out on the back terrace, just a lovely spot.
Little extras: Books, books, books, if you want to relax with a book, this is the place. If you are traveling with family there are a ton of games to play in the evening or if you get stuck inside on a rainy day.
So, all in all to wrap up, I have taken the time to write these positives because I felt I needed to let other travelers know what a great experience we have had over our four day stay. To back up my words, I plan to book Jessica's for next year if she will be so kind as to host us.
