Sam was very friendly and his wife was equally as communicative as he was with me. The place is a hostel-type living space. So be prepared for up to 6 neighbors in the same basement. Everyone was respectful of each other's space and the common room offered more amenities than I initially expected. Definitely recommend if you need an affordable place to crash. Shower is a little small so tall people beware. My 5'6" figure had to crouch a bit to get my head wet under the shower head.
