This is an absolutely perfect place to stay if you're interested in exploring Montreal. Ping's place is everything described, and more. Public transit is a very short walk away, a street with coffee shops, restaurants, grocery, and ecclectic shopping is also in walking distance. Being on a cul de sac means never having to worry about parking. And that's before getting into the house!
Sunny, airy, bright and welcoming with all of the amenities you could need. The coffee maker is a dream, the kitchen is perfect if you want to cook or just keep a few snacks on hand, and the bedrooms are comfortable and made for a restful night's sleep. A large TV and comfy couches beacon if you need a night in or want to linger over coffee before heading out. And the back gardens are lovely to recharge between morning and evening adventures.
And finally, the best thing about staying here is Ping herself. So helpful and welcoming we felt like friends being welcomed. Checking in a few times over our stay, we never felt "alone" in Montreal.
We're planning on making this a yearly trip, and plan to return as often as possible. You won't be sorry choosing this exquisite place!
