We had a really enjoyable stay at Marie's apartment. Her place is lovingly cared for, very charming with lots of character, very clean and in a good location on the Plateau. There are also two patios so you can sit outside. There are several grocery stores nearby, lots of restaurants and shops and it's about a 15 minute walk to the Mont Royal Metro station (you need to walk the 1/2 block to Mont Royal Avenue, turn left, and then walk about 15 minutes. You will see a Desjardin bank with a big green sign across the street and kitty corner to the Metro station). I have no problem at all recommending Marie's home for a stay if you are travelling to Montreal. The only issue for us was that the bathroom is quite small. We are used to a big modern bathroom with lots of counter space and while this one is fully functional, it was a bit too small for us. With older buildings this is quite common and I don't want this to negatively affect how lovely her home is.
