Ping and her upstairs apartment were fantastic for our family during our short stay in Montreal. The apartment was super clean, modern appliances, nicely decorated. Lots of personal touches that made it special and unique.
The neighborhood was lively during the day, very quiet at night. Felt very safe at all times. Street parking was available, and Ping even allowed us to park our minivan in her back yard for extra safety and convenience. The apartment is a mere two blocks from the Joliette Metro station, which can get you anywhere you want downtown. Next to the station is a convenience store. About 3 blocks to the east there's lots of great restaurants and more essentials like a pharmacy and full size grocery store.
We loved our stay at Ping's! She is a very warm, welcoming host and we'd definitely stay with her again. Her location and attentiveness can't be beat.
