We just returned from a fantastic stay at Christian and Claudine's place. The apartment is spacious, perfectly equipped and beautifully decorated with a wonderful deck out back. We were travelling with our two teenage daughters and the place was absolutely ideal for us. The great transport connections within a few blocks in every direction meant the girls were able to get around easily and do their own thing, just like their parents. The neighbourhood is incredibly peaceful, but the wonderful Rue Masson is just a couple of blocks away with plenty of bars, restaurants and stores. And, in the other direction, there's Rue Beaubien with its great restaurants and food stores. We were out a lot, exploring Montreal but, on the one rainy day, the apartment was prefect for an idle day of reading and cooking.
As for Christian and Claudine, what can I say? Excellent communication from the very beginning, amazing generosity in giving us the full run of their home, wonderfully comprehensive information about the place, a fantastic barbecue, fun messages with family vacation photo swaps... The best hosts ever.
This is definitely a place to return to when we're back in Montreal - which we hope will be very soon!
