Hans and Maria’s studio is located in one of the most picturesque areas of Montreal: the West Island. This is also a prestigious residential neighbourhood where you can find all sorts of beautiful and unique mansions in perfect harmony with the nature. A lake is within 5 minutes’ walk and and you can expect plenty of squirrels to come out to greet you from those ancient cedar trees. I stayed here for around 2 weeks during a snowy Christmas and I absolutely loved the peaceful and rustic environment. This said, I am convinced the place is equally beautiful if you happen to be here in the other seasons when you will enjoy an abundant amount of greenery. The studio itself is a self-contained bachelor pad connected to Hans & Maria’s house. This ensures both privacy and easy access to the hosts in case you need any assistance. Express Bus No. 405 within 5 minutes’ walk will take you to Lionel-Groulx metro station within 45 minutes during non-rush hours from Monday to Friday. A very well stocked supermarket Provigo is within 15 minutes’ walk. Overall, I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone interested in staying in a rustic environment while still enjoying convenient access to the centre of Montreal.
