What can you say about a host who is GRACIOUS and KIND when you lock yourself out of the apartment on Christmas Eve and he is out of town enjoying his own vacation?! We asked if we could put up a Christmas tree and he not only said "Yes!" he provided the ornaments and tree stand! The kitchen was stocked better than any we have ever seen - even saffron! Easy walking distance to great cafes and restaurants and a pub that stayed open so we could watch our favorite football team win. Our daughter was staying downtown so it was a bit of a ride to meet up with her, but if we had stayed closer to her we would have missed the Jean Talon market and this neighborhood. Stay here. You will not regret it. We will be back.
