My husband and I and our two children (ages 1 and 3) spent five nights in Jacques’ home. The home accommodated us with room to spare; it is well appointed and incredibly clean. The appliances are new and the kitchen has whatever equipment you need to cook just about anything. The bathtub in the lower floor served as the perfect place to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Exclusive use of the garden (including a patio with a table and chairs, umbrella, and a new gas grill) was priceless, the kids loved playing outside while we prepared meals or had some down time. We drove to Montreal and not once did we have trouble finding on-street parking on the same street as the house. We felt safe in the neighborhood and were within walking distance to the grocery store, an organic market, pharmacy, bakery, coffee shops, restaurants, Jean-Talon Market, several playgrounds, and the metro). The house is on a street with a designated bike path which was nice since we like to ride as a family. Besides the home and the great location, we appreciated Jacques’ thoughtfulness and consideration. He had the forethought to purchase a safety gate to place at the top of the stairs for our children and that was a life-saver. Upon our arrival, we found milk, a loaf of local bread, orange juice, yogurt and delicious dark chocolate in the refrigerator. Jacques is a great host and his home is lovely, we look forward to returning to Montreal!
