I spent a weekend in Munich for Oktoberfest in Andreas' place. He welcomed us in and lent us money to buy the transportation pass to get to the city center. Every morning he made us breakfast and every day I learned something new about Germany. He even accompanied us shopping and made my life much easier by taking my shopping bags back (as I was going into the city center). Keep in mind this is a big comfortable couch in the living room and there is not much privacy but my stay was wonderful nonetheless.
