We were made to feel very welcome by Annie who met us on arrival and took time to explain all that was required with staying in her home. As said in another review the photographs do not do justice to the home, it is spacious with a well provided kitchen and an ideal base for a family visiting this city. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the garden sitting area at the end of a busy sightseeing day. The house was close to a very vibrant area with plenty of supermarkets, restaurants, bars, a really good icecream shop where the icecream is made on the premises and very popular with the locals. Within 5 mins walk to the metro and bus stops and within 15 minutes walk to one of the local attractions, Mt Royale, where you can get wonderful views of the city. This way of travelling as a family offers great value for money and is an excellent way of meeting different people. It gives you the opportunity to get to know the area you are visiting. On a return visit to Canada we would have no hesitation is staying in Annie's home again.
