These are not your average hosts. Their warm hospitality extends beyond the usual water bottle and stack of towels. Places that are affordable are often also uncomfortable. Often, one feels out of place, like an intruder, or degraded, like a street person. Here, one feels like a genuine guest, and the space feels like a genuine home. That experience more than compensates for the somewhat remote location (Relying on public transportation, I was actually surprised by how easy it was to get around on the nearby trolley line.)
