It overlooks the backyard, where lilacs flower in early summer. Geraniums bloom on the balcony. It is a great place for a quiet breakfast or supper. In the Monkland Village, one of Montreal's trendiest and friendliest areas - full of shops, people, and restaurants of all kinds (from Louisiana to French to Ethiopian to pizza parlor to pub). The Monkland Village is in NDG (Notre Dame de Grace), a PEACEFUL OLD AREA, where trees shade the streets. Yet it is just 15 MINUTES by car from the heart of downtown Montreal. And 20 minutes from the airport. Close to parks, pool, tennis, and public transportation (including metro). Not far from bike paths along the Lachine Canal and Saint Laurence River. In a very safe area (all of Montreal is safe, a place where people can walk virtually anywhere, any time of day or night). Montreal - home to festivals galore (the Jazz Fest, Film Fest, Comedy Fest, and more), home to museums, home to the Grand Prix, home to the cobble-stoned streets of Old Montreal, and home to La Belle du Quartier. Welcome.
