Sam's place is in the perfect location to various small shops & restaurants with convenient access to the street cars & bus-stops. The house is on the older side & cozy but the best are the 2 Cats in his house. They do not disturb you one bit & only come to you if you want them too (one of them does - Salas, the other one is too shy). Was there for 14 days, barely heard their mews. There is no odour from the cats either.
The kitchen and the bathroom are kept clean. Sam is always very quick with his responses, knowledgeable & is completely non-interfering.
Google maps sometimes shows you a longer route, the best is to take the street car from Queen st. which is about 4mins to the main road from Sam's house, which takes to pretty much the main stops for Spadina / Union stn.
