Sam was a wonderful host, from day one to the very end of my stay. I would highly recommend staying in any place he hosts. I was able to ask him anything whenever I had a question and always got a prompt and thorough answer. He was exceptionally kind and accommodating, and went out of his way to make sure I could have a great stay. The place itself was perfect for me - excellent location, excellent access to everything in the area. I was just getting settled in Montreal and wanted to be near the church where I was attending Mass every day- and it was literally two minutes away, so quite ideal. I enjoyed the view of Atwater market and the short walk to the canal. I shopped at the neighborhood stores on Rue Notre Dame Ouest and felt safe walking in the streets around Sam’s place both day and evening. It was convenient to be able to access the Metro so close by. I was able to enjoy my stay with no problems and would stay again, anytime. Best welcome to Montreal I could have asked for!
