I stayed at Sam's place for a month while I was getting ready to move abroad. It was a great month! Sam and his roommate are both really easygoing and fun to chat with. The house was bright and surprisingly cool (a good thing - I was there during a heat wave), and the en suite laundry was super convenient. The two cats are really affectionate once they warm up to you. Parkdale itself is an awesome neighbourhood with lots of quirky shops and restaurants and public transit is down the street for an easy change of scenery. Thanks for a great stay!
