Oleksandra's place is simple, clean, well-furnished and equipped, and spacious enough for a longer stay. The La Petite-Patrie neighbourhood is very interesting and quiet (compared to Mile End and The Plateau, for example), but with lots of excellent cafes, restaurants, and parks nearby, as well as Jean Talon market. We didn't get to meet our host, but she communicated clearly and promptly about check in and check out procedures. We hope to come back another time.
