We had the pleasure to stay with Nat and William for 5 nights, and our stay was simply wonderful. We could not have been happier with our stay. Not only was the flat perfect, but Nat's hospitality was second to none.
The 3 bedroom flat was stylishly renovated this year while still maintaining it's original Montreal charm. The spacious apartment was perfect for our family. Nat was kind enough to set up a crib (along with a stuffed beaver who our baby loved). The kitchen was very functional, and the bedrooms very comfortable.
Nat insured our stay was very comfortable and treated us like old friends. Our flight into Montreal on New Year's Eve was delayed so we did not get in until the wee hours of the 1st. And When we arrived to the apartment , we discovered a dozen Fresh Montreal bagels, and breakfast supplies. Wow! Did we every appreciate it after a long travel day! Thank you Nat. And as if that wasn't enough, fearing grocery stores were going to be closed for us on New Years Day, Nat arrived with more supplies for our dinner, including a terrific bottle of wine!!!!!
The location of Nat's apartment is great. It is only a 10 minute drive to downtown Montreal. I would highly recommend driving through the local neighbourhood on the way to town (vs the highway). We were in and out of town several times and I never got tired of the drive. The houses are picturesque and beautiful. The apartment is only a 1 minute drive (10 minute walk) to Monkland village, where there are terrific little shops and restaurants. There is a wonderful artisan deli that does great pre-made meals. And only a couple of blocks away is Kosher Sushi, which was really really really good!!!
We look forward to visiting Nat and William again on our next Montreal adventure. We wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.
