I cannot express enough what a great experience staying at Charles and Valerie’s place was. Not sure I have ever dealt with more thoughtful hosts than the two of them. their apartment is BEAUTIFUL, cozy, and very clean. It really felt like home- especially after a long day out in the cold and the location in my opinion cannot be beat. Right across from the metro and in close vicinity to lots of great bars restaurants and shops. ! They gave us excellent recommendations for every part of your day ! From breakfast to night life- as well as easiest ways to navigate through the city! All of which made our first time in Montreal a truly authentic experience. They were extremely communicative and sweet- they even gave us a gift card for the BEST coffee shop right downstairs from their apartment, Noble- which had amazing coffee and pastry. I would stay in this lovely apartment every time I visit Montreal , and I will be back !!!
