Staying at Sam's reminded me of why I love Airbnb experiences. It isn't just about finding a safe and comfortable place to sleep every night, but also an opportunity for exchange of experiences.
Sam was a great host -- He was really helpful in every way possible. The apartment is a space he usually lives in but he moves out and makes sure his guest is comfortable and have more than enough room. He's also been really prompt with responses despite his busy schedule. Sam has definitely gone the extra mile to make sure I'm comfortable and ensured the safety of my belongings. As a solo female asian traveller, this meant the world to me.
The apartment itself has everything you can possibly need. I didn't mind the walks to public transport. It is definitely a little away from city centre, which makes it quieter and more peaceful to live in. I was able to have plentiful quiet time to myself, which was much needed.
I certainly hope Sam earns the status of Super Host soon! (:
