This stay has been absolutely perfect. I stayed with my friend, and we didn't have many expectations when we booked this place. Rita was absolutely perfect! Her house is not only clean and comfortable, but could model for magazines because of how beautiful it is. The rooms are decorated, Rita is quite the collector and the house has a very special atmosphere! The breakfasts are hosted on her magical balcony, she makes fantastic food, and even asked us in advance for our preferences and adjusted herself accordingly. The location is great, and easy to transport to other parts of the city via walking or metro. To sum up - phenomenal. Would definitely book again.

nothing!

We loved the breakfast, the colourful and inspirational decor, the excellent location vis-a-vis metro and neighbourhood restaurants, leafy walks etc. Dan and Rita are excellent hosts with a wealth of experience in making people feel comfortable in either English or French or a mix. Being in their home in St. Henri really added to our overall experience of the history of Montreal and the changes undergone in this part of the city. We will always remember this stay... plus the kindness of sending us on our way with a delicious carrot muffin each!

This is not a criticism but simply a suggestion: I wondered if the lovely large plants with which we shared the room (they love the light of course) could have been located on a higher shelf or other spot where I wasn't conscious of touching them as I passed by. Perhaps some place that allowed for more floor space and also easier closing of the curtains?

A slightly late review! I stayed here for two nights when I visited Montreal in September for the marathon. It honestly felt like staying at my grandma’s place in another city — cozy and comfortable. Although the bathroom was shared, it was never an issue, and I was pleasantly surprised to find free street parking right in front of the house — something I’d never experienced before in Montreal (most places charge an extra parking fee). What I loved most was the breakfast freshly made by the host each morning. If I ever come back to Montreal, or if someone I know plans to visit, I’d definitely recommend this place!

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.

Excellent small BnB with the most amazing breakfasts and very friendly hosts! Nice location close to many restaurants, the Atwater market, the canal for nice walks as well as the metro to get downtown, the plateau etc. and bus to/from the airport!

As it is a beautiful older building, there is only one washroom in the BnB. It is kept very clean, but something to keep in mind.

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!

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

There is nothing not to like, see the like section

We were so fortunate to stumble upon this gem of a spot. The hosts were extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The breakfast meal they prepared was exceptional. The space was very clean and the bedroom was spacious. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to Montreal.

The room was very comfortable and had a refrigerator and a desk. Excellent Wi-Fi. Breakfast was amazing!

Parking was hard on the street. There was a transportation strike while I was there that shut down the metro, which turned it from a good location to a long walk downtown.

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!
