Isabelle's place is located in a perfect area. Personally I am not a fan of downtown, so I wanted something where you can access local shops and restaurants without the business of downtown. She is a 20 minute walk from Mount Royal street, which is definitely worth checking out! Gym and grocery store are very close, beautiful parks nearby as well. She provides everything you need (dishes, measuring cups, utensils, cooking tools). I brought more than I needed!
