My boy and I are going to Montreal in August for vacation. Five days, and I'm just not familiar enough with the city to be excited about it. Admittedly, I'm ignorant of the sights offered by my fair northern Quebecois brethren. We're pretty liberal, so what should we do? What hotels should we book in what area? Great restaurants we should hit known to the locals? Is there a ‘best week’ to go during August? [more inside]

I live in New Zealand. In general I have no desire whatsoever to visit North America, except... for some reason I have a hankering to see Montreal. Why should I? (I blame Mordecai Richler.)

My partner and I are going to Montreal for a week and we are on a very limited budget. We are looking at staying with people via hospitality exchange rather than in hotels or hostels. Specifically, I've been looking at www.hospitalityclub.com . I was wondering if anyone has done this sort of thing and what your experiences were. What questions do I ask when I'm talking with someone I might stay with? What should I look out for? On another note, ideas for cheap fun in Montreal would also be welcome. We are twenty-something lesbians from small town Alberta.
