This wonderful place is the old school kind of B&B, where hardworking hosts open their home to visitors. That sort of hospitality and attention to detail can feel like a dinosaur these days--gone unless you pay at the ridiculous prices of hotels. We enjoyed the sumptious breakfasts with homebaked goodies every morning and the joy of conversations with other guests. (If you want to be by yourself, this might not be the place for you, as breakfast is served in the outdoor patio with others). In our room, we had airconditioning (it was HOT when we were there in June), a small refrigerator, and a comfy bed. We did share a bathroom, but the timing was perfect for us and we had no issues there. Free parking is available and we had no problem finding a spot. I am a runner, and the canal is a short distance away, which meant easy access to distances without city stoplights. Restaurants are within walking distance, including some fabulous ice cream. The only potential issue about staying here is the steep stairs to get up to the room--be aware of that when booking. Finally, Rita is a refreshing hostess: she's honest, funny, straightforward, hardworking, and dedicated to her baking. We are happy we stayed with her.

Rita and Dan are great. I loved the sense of humour and the thoughtfulness to make the stay comfortable. The photos lining the staircase are fun, the breakfast is excellent, the shower is hot and the bed is comfy. The location is excellent, it's outside of downtown Montreal so it's nice and quiet. A couple minutes either way gets you to the metro or to the main street with places to eat, or to the market for fresh everything. You can't go wrong here! 15/10 stars

We had a wonderful visit and it was a wonderful visit being welcomed into their home. We ate fabulous breakfasts outside on the deck and chatted with other guests and often the hosts. the locations is amazing right near the Metro and close to the Lachine canal a fabulous walk to the atwater market!

You must be prepared to go walk up one flight of stairs but well worth the steps!

Where to start? The breakfasts were incredible! And what a wonderful oasis of a back deck to enjoy the delicious breakfasts! The room I stayed in is spacious, and I appreciated the AC and fan to combat the summer heat. An added bonus was the bar fridge to store my market purchases!

Breakfast was excellent. Rita went above and beyond to feed me a delicious breakfast every morning. The room was cozy and clean. The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom was immaculate, and breakfast on the balcony was a great way to start the morning. Definitely would stay again

Warm welcome, home cooked delicious breakfast. Quiet street, close to Metro. Spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend.

Shared bathroom with hosts and guests was a little intimate but was okay for us. Would recommend earplugs as the property is not very large and sleep could be disturbed.

A GREAT PLACE to stay!!! - Rita and Dan are wonderful hosts who really care about their guests. They also give detailed information to explore Montreal. The location is very good, quite close to the metro, Atwater Market and many restaurants. The room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed having breakfast on the patio very much. The breakfast was just FANTASTIC - so fresh and lovingly prepared! We really felt AT HOME and would LOVE to come back!!!

Breakfast mixed with fun conversations with Rita and Dan were definitely the highlight. They are a lovely couple and made us laugh a lot. They even gave us a couple of muffins for our ride back to the States. Great location as well as it was a five minute walk to a metro station.

The warm welcome from Rita and Dan, the excellent and varied breakfasts, comfortable and well-equipped room. The location, between two Metro stations, and not a very long walk from downtown Montreal, is very convenient.

It has a shared although spotlessly clean bathroom. I knew that before I booked, so wasn’t surprised — ideally I’d prefer an en suite. The bedroom did have a wash-hand basin however. There are steep steps from the front door up to the rooms; this wasn’t a problem for me but some people would need to know this before booking.

Great place in a great location. Easy access to the subway and walking distance to many restaurants. Rita was a wonderful host and an excellent cook. She was very helpful with suggestions and made our stay very memorable.
