Marianne's home was even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. My husband and I felt at home right away! She was easy to converse with via text and would check up on us to see how we were doing. The kitchen is well stocked, which we appreciated since we did quite a bit of cooking. Our breakfasts and dinners out on the terrace were most memorable and we enjoyed these peaceful moments immensely. The washing machine was not working and Marianne offered to take our laundry for us to wash which was really sweet, especially since we packed lightly! We met Marianne briefly when she was dropping off our laundry and she has a such a wonderful, bright personality! Great neighbourhood, a bit of a walk to Metro/Little Italy/Jean Talon but we enjoyed it so the walk did not bother us. We would love to stay here again next year if it was available! Perfect trip and the perfect home to settle into every night.
