We actually didn’t realize we had booked a room in an occupied house until the day we left for our trip. I was worried it would be weird. But not weird AT ALL. They were amazing hosts and I’m actually really glad we had that time with locals to get a better experience.
Very hospitable. Provided a public transit card to use if we wanted, even was willing to give us a ride bc it was on the way. Gave us a map and told us how to get around when we got there. I felt safe and the room was clean and comfortable. They even provided ice and water everyday. Such great people!
