Pros: Beautiful eclectic apartment in a central location, warm and friendly hosts.
Cons: Extremely expensive for zero privacy or security, accommodations on the level of "crashing on your brother's friend's couch" with sleeping on a sofa (theoretically a sofabed, but so uncomfortable that my son kept it in the couch position), one shared and cluttered bathroom, an overly complicated domestic arrangement (separated couple, with husband's girlfriend, all living together), and poor/disorganized communication.
