I’ve had some mediocre experiences with Airbnb’s before so I didn’t really know what to expect as we arrived, especially since I was visiting a city I was unfamiliar with in a country I hadn’t been to before, but I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised. My friend and I were visiting Montreal as a birthday vacation and our time spent at Mary and Jim’s made it an even more wonderful experience.
We spent our days running around quite a bit. One day driving to Toronto, another to Quebec City, the others walking around downtown Montreal until our feet ached. It was both beautiful and exhausting. So having a warm, clean, and safe home to come home to so we could rest up and explore the next day was so convenient and comforting.
It really did feel like home. It had all the amenities we needed and more, Mary and Jim are so thoughtful! The directions to the home, the check-in, etc were so simple to follow. And having the parking space was a phenomenal amenity. The washer and dryer were lifesavers as well!
There was a small grocery store just a block or two away which made it easy to get the few things we needed for select meals. It was so nice to be able to cook a nice breakfast before starting each day with the comforts and privacy of a home.
We really did have such a wonderful time staying here, I was a sad to leave. I’d visit Montreal again just to stay here!
