Tara's apartment is clean, comfortable, and well located. It was less than a 10 minute walk to the Metro and then about a 15-20 minute ride into the downtown/old Montreal area. The apartment is in a gentrifying area, but it was safe to walk at night and leave the car parked out back during our entire visit. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked breakfast every morning. The only thing that might have been helpful but was lacking was a microwave oven, but we made due without. Tara, herself, was friendly and inviting and made herself available to answer any questions or give advice on what to see in the city. In conclusion, Tara's place is a great value for a clean, comfortable place to stay in Montreal. Thanks for your hospitality, Tara!!!
