An excellent apartment - clean, air-conditioned, comfortable and with great hosts. Located just outside city centre, close enough to easily visit city centre by metro, taxi or cycle. The apartment is situated near the Olympic park, Biodome, Planetarium, Botanical Gardens and swimming pools close by.
NOTE: This was a second stay here. We first used Airbnb last year, and stayed the whole of August 2016: Upon returning home, we were so busy we didn't realise Airbnb had a 14 days review window. But we liked the apartment enough to return again in 2017.
Maisonneuve market square is within 10min walking distance and has a great selection of food shops, cafes and numerous bistros and restaurants in the area too. We recommend La Bagatelle on the corner of square. It serves up a great breakfast and the evening meals are good quality and is a"Bring your bottle"
During our first visit, we bought secondhand bicycles from a nearby bike shop located close to Maisonneuve Marche. We cycled most places, as the cycle routes are good and cars drivers seem respectful to cyclists and pedestrians. There are many Bixi-bike hire points in the area too.
The hosts, Eric and Coralie are really helpful and kind people. They were very respectful of our space and offered good advice about the local area and events. The Olympic park has numerous weekly and monthly events, food and music, and definitely worth a visit.
The apartment well equipped for a long stay, as a home from home, it has all a family needs to be comfortable for many weeks: It is also good for short visits too - the location allows the choice of quick metro ride into the city or a nice walk in the Botanical Gardens close by.
