Amir's place was excellent--I was provided a large room with a spacious closet, and it was very conveniently located a short walk from a metro station that serviced both major lines, all for a fraction of the cost I'd have paid anywhere else. Amir himself was a welcoming host, willing to share his home and accommodations as well as open to offering suggestions on local hotspots. I'd highly recommend this place and hope to stay with him again if/when I return.
