This was probably the most welcoming Airbnb host I've ever stayed with. The place itself became a home far from home. Wassili, Ariâme's son, who lives on the first floor was the most welcoming and considerate. He even bought some wine, cheese and fruit so we would have some snack after the trip. But he went beyond that and prepared OPUS cards for us, that is local transportation system passes. The neighborhood is very calm and safe. It is literally a one minute walk from the nearest subway station, which itself is only 12 minutes away from the vibrant Montreal plateau and 18 minutes away from the business district. There are several grocery stores, a couple of really good dining spots and the Jean Talon market with its vibes and variety of local foods is 5 minutes away. The neighborhood is mostly Hispanic or, at least, that's the impression I got. The apartment is VERY clean. It is completely furnished and super-cozy.
