Patrick's place is perfect! It is just as shown, maybe a little bit smaller than expected, but that didn't matter one iota! The back yard is beyond peaceful and a wonderful getaway at the end of a day. The location is superb: Montreal is a walking/cycling city, and you can get to anywhere with ease and enjoyment from this part of the plateau. There are oodles of fabulous restaurants from chic to down city dirty ... all are great and within a stones throw. Be sure to check out the farmers market by Laurier Metro station 2 days a week. You are right between two parks and a short bike ride or 20 min walk to the great hikes on Mount Royal. Patrick was very kind and eager to make everything run smooth; and it did. Communication was easy, available and always meet with warmth and generosity. You are lucky if you find your self here.
