Sam was welcoming, gracious and friendly. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable--a real oasis, with lots of closet space and hangers, the bathroom right next door, and a sense of privacy and quiet. Truly everything you need.

Sam went out of his way to be helpful. To give just one example, I asked him if there was any way I could turn off the AC in my room; I wanted to open the window instead and hear the crickets and bird calls. Sam said that would mean changing the vent (to one that could be closed) and he went out and bought one that very day and installed it. Pretty impressive!

The room has a green, leafy view; the house is on a pretty street in a suburb that feels very safe. I had a 20-minute walk each morning (to a workshop I was attending) and it was a lovely walk. The neighborhood is quite a ways from downtown, and from South Congress, etc., and the nearby restaurants are chains. But an extra plus is that Sam, for a very reasonable cost, will drive you where you need to go.

All in all, highly recommended. It was my first airbnb experience and it makes me look forward to more.
