Our cozy home is located in the suburbs just west of downtown Montreal and an hour and a half east of Ottawa, Canada’s capital. On the main floor it has a master bedroom with a king-size bed, a guest room with a double bed, a desk and a computer, a large bathroom with a Jacuzzi, a bright fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and a comfortable living room with a gas fireplace, satellite TV/DVD/stereo system, plus air-conditioning. The lower level has a family room with a 40" Plasma TV/DVD, a second computer, another large bathroom/shower and laundry, plus a double garage. The private back yard offers a very large deck and patio area with mature trees, lovely gardens and a gas BBQ.
We live on a private circle; there is not much traffic and the neighbours are very pleasant. Yet we are conveniently close to shops and all the necessary amenities, and five minutes away from the canal and boardwalks of Ste-Anne de Bellevue with its various gourmet restaurants. The city of Montreal, just a short drive away, is multicultural; the Old Port with its Imax Theatre, many museums and art galleries; a multitude of events such as the exciting festivals - Fireworks, Just-for-Laughs, International Raggae, Nuits d’Afrique, etc. If it is peace and quiet that attracts you, the beautiful Laurentian Mountains are an hour to the north of us and the Eastern Townships are an hour to the east.
We are close-to-retirement age and have two grown children (and three lovely grandchildren). My name is Heather and I am a business entrepreneur in the IT industry. My husband is Dan and works as an Operations Manager for a heating system company. We have an old dog named Sandy (she will be staying with one of our children) and we have some tropical fish. We will be traveling with another couple. We have experienced one home exchange with a couple from France, and it was great. We have also another exchange scheduled in October to Spain.
Our home is very neat and tidy; and we will treat your home with the same care and attention.
