I had a last minute interview in Montreal and booked my stay at Melanie's. We had arrived around late, around 12:30am, and Melanie greeted us with a very warm welcome. She had made sure my car was parked in a safe spot and the rooms we stayed in were immaculately clean and cozy! Her place was only a short 7-10min walk to downtown and there are cute coffee shops and restaurant nearby. Her place is also conveniently located near a grocery store. She was also very responsive to my questions. If I didn't have a cancellation charge on my hotel, which was in no comparison to Melanie's, I would have booked my whole stay at Melanie's. I will definitely return if I am in Montreal in the future.
