Tara's place on Rue Casgrain in Petite Italie is great. The room and whole apartment is clean and very up to date....every thing's there that one could need. We just loved the location...the neighborhood is quiet and very very safe, not far to walk to various shops and cafés, and not too far from the fantastic Marché Jean-Talon, which is open daily. There's a métro station very close to the market too. Nice to have Tara's friendly cat Fripouille there too : ) My son says "don't forget the great ice cream shop nearby!" Though Tara was out of town, she was very good at staying in touch and answering any questions we had. I'd most certainly recommend Tara's place to anyone!
