There were no surprises with the house. It's an older home, but is clean, comfortable and met our needs perfectly. The off street parking was great because there was so much snow on the ground! Emmanuel was quick to reply to messages, and even though he lives in the basement we only saw him when we were digging our car out after yet another foot of snow. Due to the weather, we didn't do much sightseeing... but JP is a lovely neighborhood.
