Sam's place was a nice but basic accommodation but the bed was amazingly comfortable, the heated toilet seat and towel warmer were nice touches. There was a resident homeless guy across the street, that tends to be a bit loud when he is awake, so bring your earplugs. He seemed harmless though, and there was another guy that frequently hung out across the street as well, but also seemed fine. I walked to my conference each day and felt safe enough. The place was very clean, and Sam was a great host.
