We had a wonderful experience staying at Lamine’s apartment in the Ville-Emard neighborhood of Montreal.
Location: Quiet and safe neighborhood with beautiful trees on both sides of the road. Friendly neighbors that are happy to speak in English. About 20 minutes from downtown and old town areas in Montreal by Uber. We usually waited about 6-8 minutes for our Uber driver to arrive. Costs about 16-20 Canadian $ to go to downtown by Uber.
Apartment: Very clean and very spacious. Two rooms upstairs with queen size beds each and one nice bathroom and kitchen. A king size bedroom, a nice bathroom/shower (great water pressure) and living room downstairs in the basement. Plenty of linens and towels available.
Host: Lamine is super nice. He had a bunch of water bottles ready for us in the fridge to welcome us to his apartment. He lives on the second floor of the building with a seperate entrance which is great because he is available if you need any help after he gets back to home from work. Nicest guy in the world with great suggestions about the neighborhood. He responded very quickly to our questions. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would love to stay at Lamine’s place again if we were to get back to Montreal.
