We have settled agreements for summer 2023, but we are open for Summer 2024! We are looking to travel and remote-work in Europe for about 4-5 weeks during our 2 months school vacation in July-Aug 2024. It can be one long stay or it could be two 2-3 weeks stay in two places (stars need to align...). We are open for suggestions! Summer is very nice in Montreal, come enjoy it! |
Perfect family stay in Montreal townhouse
Our two-storey townhouse is located in the Villeray area of Montreal, 5 mins walk from the métro Jarry. We are in a typical Montréal area with green alleys, located near the Jarry park, National Tennis stadium, restaurants and shops. Jean-Talon public market is also nearby.
You’ll love our place because of the neighbourhood. Our bikes (2 e-bikes, 2 x 26 inch bikes, 2 kids bikes (with a follow-me for younger kids)) are available, or you can also Bixi (bike share) too, we have a Bixi-stop a few steps away! Bike lanes are a very close by (REV, Réseau Express Vélo) are very safe and will take you anywhere in town. Bus stops are close by and the metro is not too far away.
We love dining out in Montreal and will gladly provide our recommendations if you are foodies. There is a cool café and bakery scene. If you like to cook like us, there are many good local stores, including Marché Jean-Talon, not too far away. Our kitchen has just been renovated and you'll feel right at home for cooking.
You'll be close enough from points of interests, while being able to retreat to a quiet neigbourhood. A real Montreal experience!
With our car (with baby seat and boosters available if needed), you will be able to enjoy the four seasons or Quebec within an hour or two drive:
- Skiing or Snowboarding at Mont Tremblant during Winter (our car has a roof ski rack)
- Swim in a lake, take a kayak during Summer camping at one of many amazing national parks (we have camping equipement for 6)
- Slide in water parks at Saint-Sauveur
- Mountain bike at Bromont, or take long bike trails (our car has a back 4-bikes rack and a roof rack for one bike)
- Visit a Cabane à Sucre (maple syrup shacks) in Spring
- Pick apples at an Apple Orchard in Autumn
We have air conditioning to cool off during hot summer days, swimming pools and parks are at walking distance. During rainy days, you can watch a movie with our home theater projector or play board games (we have many... long winters...). We have a ping pong table in the back alley.
We have a car, no private parking place, but priority parking for residents:
- Honda Pilot 2019
- Bike racks for 5 bikes
- Roof ski rack
We have one exchange experience with an Iceland family, it was amazing! We are also experienced superhosts on Airbnb for 3 years. We know hospitality!
For those who want to remote work (or stream movies), our Wifi 6 and Internet connection is super fast (400 Mbps), and we have an 3 ergonomic work spaces.

Circa la nostra famiglia
We are a family of 5, two boys, 13 and 11, and a girl, 6.
We are experienced travelers, having traveled around the world (40+ countries), worked and lived in Seattle, USA and Paris, France. Our kids have seen more countries than their ageand are eager to see more. We want to learn, share about culture, music, food and history of countries we visit.
We want to share Montreal in our own way, being close enough to places of interest, while being able to retreat to a quiet neighbourhood after having soaked in a day of walking, biking, commuting around town.
We would want to show the world to our kids, one home exchange at a time.
Stile di vita
Valérie works as a finance analyst at Fondation du CHUM (Hospital Fund) and Raymond works as a software architect at Pratt & Whitney Canada.

At home we like to cook nice meals with ingredients found at local markets such as Marché Jean-Talon and other local shops and bakery shops nearby.
