After having spent 11 days in Nathalie's beautiful apartment, I cannot recommend it enough to all those who are looking for a place to live that is peaceful and quiet but close to all amenities at the same time. Right around the corner of the apartment, there are plenty of little cafés, restaurants, boutiques (St-Hubert Street!), Métro Beaubien, SAQ, IGA, Jean Coutu, banks, etc. etc. While being super close to everything you need, the place itself is situated between a one-way street with a bicycle path and a beautifully calm Ruelle, so it doesn't feel like you're in the heart of Montreal once you step in.

The apartment was in top shape when I moved in, and the pictures on Airbnb simply do not do justice to the oasis that Nathalie's place really is. From the gorgeous interior with a spacious bathroom, a serene bedroom, a super elegant living room and, most of all, a stunning kitchen (perfect for foodies to cook up a storm!), to the incredibly surreal exterior with its patio, couch, lanterns and idyllic garden in general - everything was perfect and more than exceeded my expectations.

Nathalie was a wonderfully welcoming and accessible host, and both moving in and out was like a breeze. She was always available for questions but gave me the space I needed at the same time. Plus, her fruits & veggies in the garden are out of this world delicious! ;)

In a nutshell, if you feel like living in an oasis in the middle of Montreal, this place is for you! :)
