Oh my! What an amazing home Jacques has. From the gourmet kitchen to the beautiful garden, the home was even better than the pictures and the description.

The furniture was very unique and comfortable and I wish that we could have gotten a tour of the home and learned of the story that came with each piece of art.

Jacques was responsive to any issues that we had and the house book was very informative. The little neighborhood is peaceful, safe and so quiet with quaint coffee shops nearby. The Jean-Talon train station is close and Le Metro is a fantastic way to get around Montreal. A quick walk to the Jean Talon Market - we made many trips there and enjoyed crepes, cheese, meats and fresh strawberries from Quebec.

The ambiance and "welcoming" of the home was matched by the people of Montreal. They were happy, gracious, polite and very kind at my feeble attempts to speak French. We never had a language problem and were very impressed with the dual language skills of almost everybody we met.

We look forward to our next trip to The Green Bench! We would definitely stay there again and were so sad to leave.
