We are former Montrealers with two young children, and we return to Montreal most summers to visit family and friends. We have previously stayed with family/friends, as well as a couple of hotels/motels, but Cynthia's place has proven to be the most convenient, comfortable, as well as economical. Cynthia's place was like a home away from home for us--the apartment was super clean, and contained all the essentials and more. Having our own kitchen and laundry facilities was ideal. Considering we were driving all over Montreal (on and off the island), we found this to be a central location. We also made good use of various amenities nearby (bus stop, bicycle/walking path by the lakeshore, parks, shopping, restaurants). Cynthia and her family were very accommodating and helpful. She even kept an eye on our son while we packed up to go. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others! Thank you, Cynthia & family!

This was my second stay and I must say that Cynthia is a wonderful hostess. You could not ask for a more accomodating innkeeper. Very welcoming.The apartment is in immaculate condition and Cynthia is extremely helpful. She even offered me a a ride when I was running late for my appointment, not to mention pick up at the airport. Cynthia also provided me with the full use of a bicycle for my transportation while I was a guest. It is cost effective to take a short walk to the IGA or Metro plus and pick up groceries to cook at the apartment. The bus stop is coveniently located one block away.I would most definitely reccomend this for anyone looking for a home away from home. I will be returning in the future.

Everything you need at your fingertips. Extremely clean, very well equipped. Very simple and easy for thansportation without a car. Close to do downtown and underground network. The best part is relaxing with the sound of nature and the view of the rapids. If you love bicycling and nature, it's the best! I will definately be coming back.

Very nice and clean spot in a very quiet neighborhood. The best thing is that you can go to Montreal downtown driving your own car or by Metro in less than 30min. We got all information on the nearby attractions as soon as we got the key to the apartment. Walking to the park and watching the migrating birds and enjoying the beautiful scenery was a very good experience for all of us.

Patricia - September 2008. In early September of this year, I was searching for a home away from home for the imminent visit of an Uncle. I was lucky enough to find the Pole des Rapides Guest House and booked a one-week stay. It was a great experience. The apartment is very well furnished, comfortable, clean, well laid-out and with all the appliances a person requires. It is beautifully situated close to a major park and bicycle path. But the real joy is the owner Cynthia. From the time of our arrival, where she greeted us with frosty lemonade, to the wonderful fruit plate and breakfast food she left us, we understood she genuinely wanted our stay to be memorable. She was always ready with information about the local sights and to answer all our questions. She is a delight to be with. I highly recommend the Pole des Rapides Guest House whether for a family or a single traveler. ENJOY!

Cynthia was a charming and generous hostess. She gave us considerable information on what to see and do with our young boys in Montreal, and our "breakfast" was more like a feast - fresh fruit, patisseries, OJ, milk, tea, coffee - all artfully arranged and fresh and delicious! The apartment was well-stocked and as the grocery store was close by, we were easily able to prepare and eat our own dinner in the apartment. The beds were very comfortable and the entire place was immaculate. While we drove just about everywhere, the Montreal subway / metro was close and the walks along the water were lovely. Highly recommended!

My husband and I decided on a whim, to go to Montreal for 5 days. I found this place on the internet. We could not have found a better location for the price we paid. It was an easy six hour drive from New Jersey. The owner (Cynthia)was very nice;extremely helpful, accomodating, resourceful! She provided more than enough food for breakfast and some bonus snacks, and the place was very clean (and I'm very picky), convenient to everything; restaurants, grocery store, the Metro, bus stop,and the best part was the gorgeous park by the river with the rapids which was only about 5-10 minute walk. The computer was a blessing. We would just google up the "must see and do in Montreal". We would absolutely stay here again and definitely recommend it to friends and families. Grace and Tom.

Down Town Montreal Montreal is rich with culture and things to do and see and it’s all within minutes from our apartment rental. I would personally recommend a dinner cruise on the night of the "LaRonde Fireworks", a fine cuisine Dinner/Show a "the Montreal Casino", a guided walking tour of the Old Port and the Lachine Locks, a visit at the Pointe-à-Calière Museum and the Science Museum, a visit to St-Joseph Oratory, an afternoon ice skating at the 2000Center (very friendly even for people who have never previously skated), attending some of our many world renowned Festivals ex. Jazz, Just for Laughs, etc. For more details, please visit our personal web site for the links to “Nearby Attractions”.
