Note: I did not stay overnight during my booking and my review is only for the time period I was there daily (11am-8pm).
Samson’s place was ridiculously clean. Reservations were easy and quick, even though I was booking last minute and close to midnight. Samson is very responsive and helpful. The garage is available for parking but I was concerned with the size of the car I was driving at the time was being too big (Acura RDX) so I didn’t use it. I didn’t have any trouble finding nearby parking (in front of the house or around the corner) on any day. There are steps to get into the living space of the house so please keep that in mind when booking for those who have trouble with them. There is also a camera by the door for security. The place has lovely natural lighting throughout the upstairs area but also easy to use cordless blinds/curtains on all windows so you can control the amount of light. However, please note there are two skylights in the kitchen area, back door that has large panels of clear glass, and the window next to it, all do not have an option to cover it. There is a smaller downstairs area with a tv, microwave, sink, and fridge, but I did not use that space. It’s a smart house so no physical key is required. Just make sure you have the code with you coming in and out so you don’t get locked out. You have to press the “Yale” button to lock it when you leave. Upon arrival there were a couple chocolates, fruit, and bottles of fancy water. That was a pleasant and welcome surprise. I run warm and there was no air conditioner, but it was fine because I would keep the back door open and the breeze was enough to keep the temperature very comfortable. I would note there is a rooster from a neighbor’s house that crows randomly so I had to shut the door for meetings. It was not an issue when the door was shut. The only time I heard external noise was a group of skateboarders rolling down the front of the street a couple of days. A neighbor also has a dog that would occasionally bark for about 30 seconds (only heard this three times in my 4 night stay. There are many other amenities I did not use (fireplace, projection screen, stove, oven, grill, etc.) but everything was well designed and comfortable. I generally don’t prefer bar stools but those had a back and arm rests so it was very comfortable. There is an ice charging station right on the island so it was a great working hub for me. The refrigerator is a full-size refrigerator with a freezer and was very clean and did not smell musty. The bathrooms were clean but I did not use the showers. The kitchen has clean bowls, plates, cups, utensils, cutting boards, knives, etc. I did not use any but I did use the microwave which is under the kitchen island inside a cabinet. It was clean and easy to use. Samson’s place is well worth the money. I had a wonderful stay and would stay again if I had the opportunity!
