Where to begin. Let's just say that Maria and Ralph prevented a serious bicycle accident from turning into a complete nightmare with their kindness, generousity and attentive care. The hosts get ten stars. OK then. Maria's flat is comfortable, impeccably clean, fully equipped, and very real. This is the opposite of a hotel room or sterile AirBNB flat. It's very personal. It feels like people live here. There's an office machine in the small living room, but the sofa is comfy. The bedroom window opens on the street, but the street is quiet. And so on. This is the kind of AirBnB I seek out that is becoming all too rare. It's in a home and your host is upstairs. It's soft and casual and invites you to settle in to relax. The garden is magic. So if you want brand new updated everything and the smell of fresh paint stay somewhere else. For the right person this is right place. Superb location in a hipster neighborhood. 150 feet from a dedicated bike lane that crosses Montreal East/West. Tons of great restaurants. Wall murals everywhere. We're coming back again next Summer.
