The apartment and neighbourhood were both excellent and Marie was an absolute delight. The accommodations were very comfortable and furnished with everything one could reasonably want. Marie had left us with food for breakfast and necessary toiletries (including a spare toothbrush) in case we hadn't brought all of our own (which we had of course) and a bottle of wine. It was a very nice and trendy neighbourhood, not far from downtown, and Marie recommended restaurants and grocery shopping (an easy walk just around the corner in a vibrant entertainment district) that were all were top notch. (Try Daddy Jack's fish place. We went twice.). We didn't use the public transit but it looked pretty good too. Finally I can't say enough about Marie as a hostess. Among other things, we had too leave in a hurry to get to the airport due to an impending ice storm. Marie took the time and trouble to email that we we're welcome back to use the place if we got stuck because of weather as lots of people were. All around a great experience.
