Ian's place is extremely nice and in a phenomenal location. He included a thorough intro sheet to his home, neighborhood, and included restaurant/bar/sightseeing recommendations, along with a metro pass for visitors. He has an incredible fireplace and balcony as well - really perfect for couples. I was also able to cook multiple times because he has a full kitchen.
On my last day, my travel plans were cancelled and I reached out to him to extend our stay for one night. Despite the fact that he was in the Philippines, he responded right away and allowed me to Venmo him for the extra night. He was so understanding and was truly our hero!
Note: Ian's place does not have a bed. It has a futon that is pretty small and uncomfortable. We slept on his pullout couch, which was essentially a larger futon. This was OK for us, but would definitely be a major problem for more high maintenance visitors.
Thanks Ian!!
