Sam usually didn't let people in his room. But because Rachel was so neat and organized, Sam [allowed her without ever talking about it] her to work up in his small room when he was out of the house.

Sam didn't think twice about letting her work...– JimCommented Jun 29, 2016 at 2:40

What does "talking about" have to do with "subconscious"? Isn't it supposed to be "thinking"? How could it be an agreement? You need to explain what you are looking for in more details.– user140086Commented Jun 29, 2016 at 8:31

It's not one word, but you could use the adverb tacitly with a following verb such as agree, consent or allow:
Sam usually didn't let people in his room. But because Rachel was so neat and organized, Sam tacitly allowed her to work up in his small room when he was out of the house.
Or perhaps:
- Sam and Rachel had a tacit agreement that she could work in his room when he was out of the house.

And there are alternatives to "allowed" -- "suffered", "permitted", "tolerated", "endured" -- which can add a sense of how much comfort Sam has in the situation.– MetaEdCommented Jun 29, 2016 at 23:13
