I have a great stay at samuel place room 430. it is huge for one person to stay. the room is warm during winter and early spring.
it is close to guy concordia metro station, easy to go around, coffee shops, pharmacy, groceries and Dollarama!! is available here
As a muslim if you are looking for halal foods it can be find near to this appartment down the street
heard people complaining about rat or cockroach, but didn't experience any rat during my stay. eventhough my room is near to the floor rubbish room.
