We spent Christmas at Sammy's place. We loved it. It was even homelier and cooler than the photos had conveyed. Modern and fresh, each living space had its own character. Greenery warmed the upstair reading-room and the downstairs living room. Sammy is obviously a plant-growing enthusiast. The kitchen and bathroom were clean and well-kitted out. The kitchen had all the necessaries for food preparation and the bathroom, washing gels, toilet paper and towels. Sammy kindly prepared an extra mattress for us in case we needed it. He also set us up to navigate the unseasonal cold weather during our stay - central heating, extra heating appliances, salt for the drive. We enjoyed evenings snug on the couch, with blankets watching movies cast from our device onto the house TV.
If you're not familiar with Toronto, Sammy's place is located near the upbeat area of Yonge and Eglinton. A ten minute walk to the closet subway station you can be downtown in 30-40 minutes.
A great place to stay!
