Sidonie's home was perfect for my family's stay in Montreal. The apartment is spacious, all beds comfortable, great chef's kitchen, and comfortable communal living area. Bonus is the parking space in the large backyard. The Ville Marie neighborhood is quiet and a bit off the beaten path; we didn't take public transport this trip, but there is a subway stop a few blocks away and the bus along Rue Sherbrooke into downtown. Ten minute drive to restaurants and shopping in the trendier Plateau. Also ten minutes to the Botanical Gardens, a must-see, and the Biodome, etc. Communication was easy and Sidonie came in person to help us with the front door lock, which we found tricky at first. Even though there is only one AC centrally located in the dining area, with a couple of strategically placed fans, the apartment was comfortable in a multi-day heat wave. Highly recommend this place for families seeking a respite in the city, a yard to enjoy, and easy parking.
