I absolutely loved my stay in Lise's apartment. First, the pictures don't do it justice - it is a beautiful little apartment with everything you need, in a safe and extremely scenic neighborhood central to just about everything. Across the street is a wonderful park with a swimming pool, and a bike path runs directly in front of the apartment (if you're a biker, bring your bike to montreal!). The metro is a few minutes walk away, and from the bike trails you can easily get to the old port, Mt Royal, parc de fontaine (also walking distance), the botanical gardens, etc, without the worries of dealing with cars on the roads! In addition, Lise was an excellent host - she communicated well, gave me tips on where to go/what to see, and left maps for me to use. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend that others do the same!
