When we arrived Oleksandra showed us the apartment. We were surprised by all the little extras that were available: shampoos, coffee, and other comforts of home. I have been to Montreal many times, but never to this area. It exceeded my expectations and opened my eyes to something new. There are restaurants, shopping areas, and the Jean Talon Market nearby. Walking all the way down Boulevard St-Laurent was one of my highlights. The apartment and bedding was comfortable, so sleeping in was what we did.
