One of the reasons we enjoy visiting Montreal is to get to know the neighbourhoods in which Montrealers live. Mile End is a great area to wander around with lots of interesting people, shops, restaurants and the famous St. Viateur bagels! Christophe provided a map of Montreal, on which he marked places for us. He also prepared a very thorough guide with helpful info about the apartment and everything you could possibly want to do in the area. With so many restaurants to choose from and all a short walk away, his guide mentioned Indonesian, and he kindly texted us with the exact address of Nonya, which we would recommend. Christophe’s location is also convenient for getting downtown (we had our car and street parking was no issue). We rented Christophe’s entire apartment and it was very spacious for our family of 3 - our daughter liked having her own bedroom. Along with our bagels :), my daughter picked raspberries in the large garden and we ate breakfast out under the pergola shaded by lush grapevines. Montreal can be very hot and humid in the summer so the air conditioning meant we all enjoyed a good night’s rest. We were sorry we could only stay one night but would definitely stay again! Thanks for your hospitality Christophe!
