Lynda and Jean were fabulous hosts. They truly opened their home and lives to us. Lynda was waiting with hot crossaints for an early arrival from some of our party. She was available via cell phone throughout our entire stay providing tips on restaurants, activities for kids, and general advice. I have never stayed somewhere with more accessible hosts! Montreal happened to be experiencing a heat wave during our visit, and Jean actually went out and purchased an extra fan for the flat to make everyone more comfortable. Even our kids felt at home as Lynda and Jean were more then willing to share their own family's toys with ours. The kitchen was free reign and we were able to stay in and cook several nights using herbs grown in their gardens. We were sent on our way with departing gifts unique to Montreal, such a thoughtful gesture. Overall this was an amazing trip made all the better by such gracious hosts.
