I stayed at Sam's place for a week on my own, and used the prime location as a home base from which to explore city; both as a humble tourist and prospective transplant.
Beyond merely being an inexpensive place to stay, I found 'Chez Jackdaw' to be a truly beautiful home: tranquil in its calm surroundings, tasteful in its modern decor, and thoughtfully appointed in its use of technology.
Communication was super seamless throughout, and rules were well-articulated and fair, in line with the price of the listing.
Kudos to Matthew for your kindness and generosity with your time. You were an invaluable resource during my stay, and always up for a quick chat.
