I stayed for 5 nights with Musa. Musa is a great host. He is warm and affable and made me feel really welcome. I slept on an airbed in the living room. Musa sleeps in his own private room. And he pretty gave me my privacy most of the time, which is what I wanted. The premises are clean and serviceable, though hardly luxurious.

The neighbourhood lies on the outskirts of the city (Elephant & Castle), and can get a little seedy. I was rather apprehensive when I first approached the apartment block at night. On my second last night, I even ran into a shady character who asked for spare change. Apart from that, my stay was rather uneventful.
