Hélène was very welcoming and communicative. After hours and hours on the road, we felt comfortable from the moment we stepped inside. Very clean and well-cared with comfortable beds, Hélène’s place provided plenty of space and everything we needed to settle in and start exploring Montreal and the immediate neighborhood, a busy place in the morning as people head to work on bikes or toward public transit. The kitchen is nicely stocked with utensils and storage containers, and the large fridge is good for stocking up on fresh produce from local markets. Enjoyed using the grill on the deck. The washer and dryer was great to use, allowing us to pack light. We plan to return to explore the city further, assured that we'll have a comfortable place to stay at Hélène’s place.
