I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with him as a host! The Hill Country Room I had requested was occupied by a long-term guest, so I stayed in the Chinese Room of the same house. The bed was big and comfy, the room was very neat and the attached private bathroom was a very nice amenity. I visited Austin for SXSW and chose Sam for having one of the most reasonable rates for the week. It was great to come back to a quiet and restful abode after long day out in downtown. Also, the BBQ Sam prepares for his guests on a weekly basis are the best I've had in Austin, and that's saying something!
