I didn't actually stay at Dr Alam's place. I had booked it for a night but ended up spending the night at a friend's place. It was too late for me to cancel, so I messaged Dr Alam to let him know that I wouldn't check-in, but that I was obviouslt still going to pay for the night since I messaged him very last minute. He was extremely nice about it and offered me a free night for a future stay! I thought it was very thoughtful since I didn't even ask for it. The communication between him and I was effective and quick and it was a breeze booking with him. The place is a bit far from downtown Toronto, which is why I ended up staying at my friend's place, but I still really recommend Dr Alam as a host!
