Beautiful, recently renovated open concept condo. The space exudes a sophisticated, yet homey feel with it's dark hardwood floors, exposed brick walls and cozy furniture.

The entrance, reading nook, living room and office form big open space full of natural light. Musicians will be delighted to pick some sheet music from the office bookcase and tickle the ivories in the living room. The office area can be completely closed off from the living space using the double french doors when separate spaces are needed. Book lovers of all ages will enjoy curling up in the papasan chair in the afternoon sunlight with some English- or French-language literature from the bookcase. Minerva, the grey calico, is playful and friendly. Guests can simply enjoy her company, everything else is taken care of. She enjoys sitting on my lap of curling up next to me in bed, but I don't know if she'll be that outgoing with guests! This is a bit of a test, hence the low price for this jem of a place. The sunrise lamp on the bedstand is the perfect way to wake up and, with the kitchen just off the bedroom, a morning coffee is never far away.

De Bordeaux is a very quiet street with little traffic, and free parking is usually quite easy to find. It is a residential neighborhood, with many young families and cute alleys full of lurking cats. There is a very well stocked dépanneur (corner store) very close by (1 minute) where basic groceries, a few gourmet products, some vegan milks and a great selection of microbrewed beers are available. It is right next to a cute bakery. There is a pharmacy nearby, and some grocery stores 5 or 10 minutes away by foot. Montreal's iconic Plateau is just on the other side of the train tracks (don't worry—we can't hear the trains from the apartment). Along the track runs a great cycle path that is safe from traffic and wide enough to accommodate walkers, runners and bikers. It runs all the way to the metro station (Rosemont), about ten minutes by bixi or twenty by foot.

Guests can access all spaces in the apartment, including laundry room. I just ask that they leave the cupboard under the stairs (left upon entering) undisturbed, as I am currently harbouring an underaged wizard in it.
