Melanie's place was more than I could hope for on my trip. I was doing an elective at the Montreal General Hospital and Melanie's was a great location, very close to downtown and the metro..the bus stop is just a 2 min walk from the house. Melanie actually gave me the whole basement to stay in, which was pretty cozy and very private. Evryone in the house was great, friendlyand very helpful, showing me around Montreal. The rooms were clean and tidy. I would greatly recommend the place for anyone visitibg Montreal. I would definetely stay there next time im back!
