Our host was most welcoming and helpful. She gave us directions and suggestions as to what was in the neighbourhood. The suite was very clean and provided everything we needed including snacks, beverages and toiletries. It was great to be able to cook some of our meals.
It was very easy to walk to groceries stores, the metro and popular tourist spots. We even walked to Old Montreal so we could take in the city.
We found a great little restaurant/bar just up the street on the corner of Bullion and Roy called Else's. Limited menu but cheap and cheerful.
We purchased a Metro pass and we were able to get anywhere in the city very easily. We loved the Jean Talon Market! A great place to get fresh fruit, veggies and pastries!
We wanted to experience a smoked meat sandwich so walked up to the famous Schwartz Meats. The line up and restaurant were long and crowded. We opted to eat outside at The Main just across the street. It was delicious and no wait!
The liquor store on Bullion just around the corner from the Air B@B was expensive, better to shop at the grocery store for beer or wine.
We loved the park just around the corner and enjoyed sitting outside having an ice cream from the shop in the park.
By using the Metro we were able to visit many of the little neighbourhood areas with ease. We really enjoyed walking through the hoods looking at the walk up houses and the majestic big buildings throughout the city.
We also loved the Botanical Gardens, definitely worth a visit if you are a gardener.
Overall, we enjoyed our time in Montreal and found the Air b&B perfect for us.
