I have some house rules for spiders: no bed, no hanging above bed, no sudden movements, avoid open spaces, no counters, get away from my feet. They are welcome to any dark corner of my home.
Pretty much as long as they aren't in or above my bed and so long as they aren't touching me as you said they are okay with me.
My rules are if you make a web you can stay, but all running spiders will be put outside. No bed, no hanging above the bed, no towels, never on my body without permission, and if you don't let me catch you with my homemade spider trap (a little bell jar and paper coaster), I'll inform the cat of your whereabouts.
