The apartment is perfectly located in a great neighbourhood with everything you could need or want. It’s a stylish space, well laid out and with many thoughtful touches. Everything worked and everything was super clean. The bed was extremely comfortable too.
François met us in person and it was lovely to be welcomed and shown the apartment. He was very kind and hospitable.
There is a big Provigo supermarket just around the corner and there are lots of great bars and restaurants to try. The apartment’s outdoor space is a private and relaxing place to sit. François has listed all his top tips in the house guide which we found really helpful. We loved Omnivore, Siboire, Patati Patata and Le Darling. Bagel etc was great for breakfast on our first morning.
On our second day, we walked up onto Mont Royal from the nearby Jeanne Mance park; you can do a loop of the mountain and then take the stairs to downtown via Peel Street. I am very glad we didn’t do it the either way around! It’s also possible to walk down to the old port area by just coming out the apartment and turning right, and walking until you hit the water!
We loved Montreal and found it to be a very laid back and relaxed city full of friendly people. I would recommend François’s place without hesitation.
