We stayed in Montreal at Marie-Eve's apartment in Mile End for 15 days and it really felt just like home. Marie-Eve and her husband, John, were very helpful and welcoming and non-intrusive. Mile End is a lovely inner city village easily accessible to Downtown by regular and short bus trips. The restaurants and cafes in Mile End are great and the supermarkets are close by so that cooking nice dinners in the apartment's excellent kitchen was a pleasure. We would stay here again any time we come back to Montreal.
