I stayed at Samuel’s place for a few months.
There were ups and downs so I think it’s important to highlight both
The good:
- location was perfect, everything great to see in Montreal is easily accessible via the Metro from the apartment and so much is walkable
- Samuel is extremely responsive and accommodating
- The building staff are very helpful
- The kitchen is well stocked with the tools needed to cook basic meals
The bad:
- There’s a cockroach problem the building seems to be struggling to get totally under control
- Several times a week in the colder months the electricity would go out and I needed to speak to someone to fix it
- If anyone else in the building smokes the smell will be carried into your apartment, as someone with asthma I really struggled with this
Overall Samuel’s place does do the job if you’re simply looking for a home base to explore the city. Everyone is extremely helpful so you’re not left to handle the problems on your own
