Hi my name is Franca and I have been a homestay mom for over 30 years. My children have left the nest but are never far away I currently have 3 rooms available for mid-July. We are in the suburbs but with easy access to downtown via public transit (less than 20 minutes). You have access to 2 bathrooms and 2 living rooms. The rooms vary in size but will include a desk and bed (with linen), of course. There is a in-ground swimming pool available in summer and a large backyard and barbeque. A bicycle path connects to Montreal. You will be surrounded by parks and shopping malls. The area is residential and very quiet. Willing to provide meals if needed. I speak Italian, English and French. The home is non-smoking. I welcome you to talk to me about whatever you wish.

Au niveau des transports c'est correcte y'a le bus 45 qui emmène au centre ville 20mn ou le 74 expresse au moment des heures de pointe sinon c'est accessible par la garre du métro LONGEUILLE .
Son fils aussi est correcte et très sympathique ainsi que sa femme , j'ai fais la connaissance de sa famille et je me suis sentie vraiment en famille on ma intégrés parmi eux .
Ils sont tous serviable notamment Franca elle a le cœur dans la main très sensible et très a l'écoute de l'autre et communicative , elle sait bien cuisiner et elle me proposer de manger avec elle tous le temps et m'accompagner même pour faire mes courses franchement c'est gentille de sa part .

C 'est une famille très sérieuse et correcte , serviable et généreuse .
Je t'embrasse fort Franca et a toute ta famille .

Bonjour,
Franca est une vraie "maman italienne", à peine franchi la porte, elle fera attention que tout va bien pour vous.
Comme elle avait beaucoup de monde, je n'ai pas eu de chambre indépendante. Mais sa qualité de coeur et sa bonté à remplacé ce petit désagrément et c'était l'occasion pour moi d'échanger avec toutes les filles présentent. Très bon partage avec Franca, je vous la recommande.May 2019
Very nice , very comfortable, I really fell very happy with Franca and Her family
