A few weeks ago we went to Canada. We had never been there before so it was exciting to get to go experience a different country. Our original plan was to spend a week in Montreal. We picked a place to stay that was a unit in this beauty, Castel Durocher....
When we arrived the host had a welcome sign with all of our names on it...
And another inside...
The hosts were Belgium natives. Sandrine and Vincent were so kind and accommodating. I was in love with this place the second we got up the stairs...
They had left us fresh flowers...
and a stocked fridge including Belgium chocolates they made....
So if you are ever in Montreal, go get some Chocolat Vincent. She explained they make the most natural, healthiest chocolate possible using interesting spices and flavors. They were very good. And after box one disappeared, box two appeared...
They left us fruit, snacks, coffee, croissants, and french bread...
I was so impressed with the charm and character this place had. Look at this door in the kitchen...
There is a reason I had about 65 photos of the place. It oozed charm. The squeaky floors made me happy. This balcony was out the kitchen door....
Tosh and I used the patios at night after Finn was asleep. He did not know they existed. Tosh and I talked one night about how three years ago this place would have made us so nervous with Finn. Luckily now he has no interest in climbing up and down stairs or escaping out doors.
Finn's room...
The second bedroom was so beautiful...
The windows were left open all the time. There was no ac so it was natural air and fans. How could you ever wake up in a bad mood with this window!
The living and dining area. Tosh said this was such a European set up....
These place mats made me so happy as I ate for some reason. I don't know...
This house had the sweetest little details...
And the other patio...
I don't know exactly what it was about this place, but I was so in love. The first day we didn't even step outside. I was torn between spending our time out and about and in the apartment. On day two we finally stepped outside. More on that in another post. :)
