This was a great, affordable place to stay while in the city.
The host family was incredibly friendly, offering free food and drinks regularly while offering tips about the city.
This is not a situation where you will have complete anonymity. You will be seeing the owners and possibly others throughout your stay. During my stay, the owners were hosting a few other people in a work for lodging arrangement. It turned out to be great and everyone was very friendly, but if you are looking for a place to get away with no interactions, you may want to look for another place.
All in all, my stay was not only affordable - it was also a very communal experience which was actually quite nice. Plus, it is a brand new tiny house!
