Hans's place was just unbelievable! The neighborhood we enjoyed walking around was so beautiful that it was like a dream for us. The public bus was very convenient because the nearest bus stop is very close and the operation it is very frequent. We went back and forth the center of Montreal, but we also liked the atmosphere of the small town of
Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, which is less than 10 minutes away by bus. The room was cosy and everything was just wonderful for us! The closest shopping center was 20 minutes away, but we found out that the bike shop there let you rent bikes (at least at the time of our visit)! Unfortunately bikes were too big for us, but for those of you who want to enjoy fantastic bikes rides that locals are doing in summer, this maybe a choice. The area is SO suitable for bike rides! We have not had the chance to meet Hans, but he was helpful all the way with the email responses. We had the great pleasure of meeting his wife, Maria, with whom we had wonderful conversations! She was very helpful too!! We are back in sweltering Tokyo summer and we miss Hans's place very much. Hope we have a chance to come back again!!
