this is an opportunity to live like a local in a typical two story residential building with a spiral staircase leading to the second floor apartment. while not modern or fancy, it is charming and very clean. brand new dishware, glassware, silverware and cookware are provided. the small bedroom has a very large, comfortable bed and lots of closet space. there is a ceiling fan in the bedroom as well as an air conditioner in the kitchen area. the washer and dryer are also located in the kitchen area. the neighborhood is very quiet and there are restaurants, convenience stores and businesses of every kind all around. best of all, the jean talon market is about a 5 min walk away. this was nancy's first airbnb experience as a host and she did a wonderful job. she lives in the apartment next door so she's always available in case you need help. i had a wonderful time and recommend that you come to "little italy". you will love it!
