I stayed with Samantha, Roel and their son Arjan for 2 ½ weeks after first arriving in Canada from the UK and could not have made a better choice! The whole family are so friendly, bubbly and generous and their dog Oskar is really sweet so spending time with any or all of them is a lot of fun! They all welcomed me in and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and settled in a new city, offering advice and local knowledge to help in my search for an apartment, employment and more “bananas” activities. The room itself is equally lovely, with a comfortable double sofa bed and plenty of drawers and closet space for clothes. There is access to a private bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area, TV, speedy WiFi, washer and dryer. There are also many nearby shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs so plenty of options when it comes to buying groceries or enjoying a meal or some drinks out. Not to mention there are bus and streetcar stops just on the corner which can take you downtown in 15 minutes. I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoyed my stay here, I highly recommend it to any visitors or travellers!
