Stefan is the most generous host I've ever encountered. It makes a huge difference, as you're staying right in his apartment with him. The bedroom is much bigger than I expected, with a huge bed, a desk, and windows onto a quiet courtyard (not the street, which is quiet anyway). The neighborhood is fantastic: walkable, lively, full of restaurants and cafes, buzzing with the energy of young residents. But it is Stefan himself who is the highlight of a stay here. He treated me like a visiting friend or relative. When I arrived, sweaty from dragging luggage across town in a heat wave, he offered me slices of watermelon and a beer. He loaned me his bike twice, which allowed me to enjoy much more of the city than I could have on foot (the bike is nothing fancy but a perfectly good, three-speed city bike). I'm grateful to have spent time with Stefan and I recommend that you do the same.
