I cannot give a accurate review because I was not actually able to get to the room. Extenuating circumstances kept me from travelling and I cancelled my reservation. I'm currently in the process of lobbying for a full refund.
Sam seems to be a great and commutative host, typically replying quickly and concisely and stopping at nothing to ensure a great stay. This makes my frustration in seeking a full refund (which has thus far gone to even asking AirBnB as an organization if they will step in and pay it on his behalf in a gesture of good faith in the case that he cannot or wouldn't not grant the refund) all the more compounded.
In reality, my dissatisfaction was just a result of bad timing and inconvenience but I can't in good faith give Sam as strong of a recommendation as I'd like as I did not use his services and can only comment on his customer service accumen
