People Like Us Local Guide
Happy to meet up for coffee or show you some local sights!
Very comfortable apt with lots of light, but the best thing about it was Winnie and Patrick. They were super helpful, very communicative, had great recommendations, and even offered to take care of us if a pilot strike delayed our departure.
Patrick and Winnie were terrific guests in our home. They were our first family and so we really appreciated learning the ropes from them. When they left, they made sure that the sheets were washed, bed was made, and that the place looked like it had when they walked in. I highly recommend them as guests.
It was a lovely stay at Lucy and Dennis' place. As they were new to home exchange, we made sure to have 2 video calls and met in advance. It was great to be able to experience a different part of Montreal - their home was 10 mins easy walk to the metro, near shops and restaurants, and most importantly, the beds were very comfortable. It was a spacious home (a family with more people would definitely appreciate the amount of space). We are really excited for Lucy and Dennis to go on this new exciting home exchange journey and would recommend them as hosts.
