As a first stay in AirBnB I hope all my trips are like this. Very clean apartment in a quite residential area. We enjoyed the many small shops, restaurants, a large super market (called Maxi) and a wonderful organic grocer situated about 5-8 minutes by foot. It was nice getting off the beaten track and exploring a side of Montreal most tourists don't get to see. Helene was a very attentive host and made some suggestions on places to go and things to see (e.g. butterflies go free at the botanical gardens was a great hit with the kids)
