What a great apartment, and what a lovely host! The first-floor walk-up—entirely for guests—is in the up-and-coming HoMa (Hochelaga–Maisonneuve) neighborhood, where the Olympic Stadium, Biodome, planetarium, and Botanical Gardens are located. It's about a 15-minute walk to both the Joliette and Pie-IX métro stations and even closer to buses, and it's a 2-block walk to the cafés (like the delicious Arhoma), restaurants, and shops on Ontario Street. The apartment itself was perfect for me, my partner, and my nephew. On the left side are two bedrooms (one with a bunk bed, with a queen bed on the bottom and a single bed on the top, and one with a queen bed—both with closets) separated by a washroom that also has a washer and dryer that guests can use. On the right side are a comfortable living room with a TV, and a great, fully equipped kitchen. The backyard, with a table and chairs, is for guest use only, and there's parking—again, exclusively for guests—on a parking pad in the back. Those are rare finds in Montreal!! And, everything was spotless! As for Ariane, she was warm and welcoming. She greeted us at the apartment, where she gave us the keys, a tour of the apartment, a baguette (😊), and any information we needed. And every time we communicated with her, both before and during our visit, she responded promptly. Staying at Ariane's place was perfect! I highly recommend it!
