Couch Information
Couch Available: Yes
Preferred Gender: Any
 Wheelchair Accessible: Yes
Max Surfers Per Night: 2
Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: NoThe sleeping will all be in the living room. I won't host more than 2 people at a time so you shouldn't be sharing the space with anybody except your travel partner, if any. I have a couch available in West Queen West, right across the street from the Drake Hotel. Lots of galleries, restaurants, clubs and bars nearby and very close to the TTC streetcar. The building is brand new with a pool and gym.
The couch is in the living room and I also have an air mattress to use. I have sleeping bags and some blankets as well.
I don't smoke but if you must there is a balcony.
For the summer, weekends and weekdays are both fine. I currently sleep anywhere between 12-2 am and wake up around 10-11 am. Friends (13)

What do these numbers mean?
This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you. References (13)13Positive 0Neutral 0Negative

From Cecil Hippler Viernheim, Germany
Aug 10, 2011 Positive Martin was my first couch-surfing host and I had spent two wonderful days at his place from which you have a magnificent view on the skyline. He introduced me to my first canadian beers which were by the way really good and we had great conversations on almost every topic. Martin is really nice and I hope we're going to see each other again in Toronto or in Germany.
From PETIT_SABOT Mannheim, Germany
Aug 9, 2011 Positive I couchsurfed for the first time with a friend, so Martin was my first host and we really spent a great time together. We chatted and laughed a lot and he took us to some great places for dinner and having some beers (and thanks to him we tried some good canadian ones)! Oh, and I shouldn't forget about the great view you have from his place ;)I hope to hang out with him some more times one day, somewhere in the world
From Sen Zhan Montreal, Canada
Aug 6, 2011 Positive What a great person to kick off my couch surfing career! Martin took the time to get to know me and show me around his neighborhood. We went to a great Korean restaurant and had lots of diverse and engaging conversation! I felt very welcome, safe, and respected in his home, and would welcome him to my couch anytime.
From Theron Patterson Istanbul, Turkey
Sep 19, 2010 Positive He was such a chill guy and so gracious about me staying with him. Would definately want to hang out with him again.
 From Yoongyoo Choi Sapporo, Japan
Sep 19, 2010 Positive He hosted me for 2 nights. This is my first surfing experience. So nice.
He(and his room-mate) made me feel so comfortable.
Good people, good place.
If I could speak in english well, I could have a conversation more with him.
I feel sorry about that.
Thank you, guys.
From Gareth Thompson Glasgow, Scotland
Aug 20, 2010 Positive Martin surfed my couch with his friend Amit. We had a chat about MBAs which was geniunely useful to me as I'm going through that grinder at the moment, and we went out to see some piping and have some beers. Hope to see him in Toronto sometime when I go couch surfing! good guy

Aug 17, 2010 Positive I hosted him and his friend Amit for 2 nights and it was really nice. He is funny and friendly person. We went out for drink and speak about lots of things. By the way thanks for the wine guys it was good :)
