Yes. I think so. Haven't had any reasons to suspect otherwise so far.
[ She's not the kind to trust easily, though, he can tell. If at all. The way she talks about this place and asks about their hosts makes him wonder about the kind of place she comes from, what sorts of adversities she might've faced in the past. Granted, not that Jim hasn't had his fair share of encounters with suspicious characters, but that hasn't damaged his inherent will to believe and trust, though it has helped him in being able to tell when someone or something's shady. ]
Where I come from... it's just natural for us, to want to trust. There are always people out there who don't deserve that trust, and we're still cautious no matter what, but if someone needs our help, or someone's willingly extending a hand to help us, we accept that. It doesn't mean we trust blindly, but we don't go out of our way to find reasons not to believe someone. There has been nothing so far about this place that has made me think that our hosts are being anything but truthful. I may yet be proven wrong, as it's been known to happen in the past, but... guess I'll cross that bridge if and when I get to it.
