Erika is a wonderful host. She provided recommended places to visit ie Atwater Market and Rue Mont Royal (great shopping), and things to try which I really appreciate. I loved staying with her and her cat Yunus. I felt right at home. I will miss her breakfast smoothies, I will have to make them when Im home. Thanks for everything Erika! I highly recommend staying with Erika she made my first time in Montreal a wonderful experience. PS for the location this bnb is a great value. You can walk/bus/train close to pretty all attractions. I would refrain from buying a bus pass ahead of time. Park Mont Royal is 2 blocks away! Tourist hot spots like La Banquise are also close. The closest station is Place des Arts.
