Accommodation

maybeNo smokingNo drugs
Max number of guests:
2
Maximum length of stay:

2-3 nights

Please bring:

your sleeping bag your towels and a big smile :o)

I can offer my guests:

guests will sleep on a couch which become a double bed in the living room. A small sized personn can sleep on the second couch. But I don't host more than 2 adults.

Families are welcome but only for one night maximum as I don't have a spare bedroom:a couple and one child it's possible or a solo parent with 2 children

I can offer my hosts:

I can cook for them and share funny moments

Other information for guests:

There is no separation between the kitchen and the living room, so you will be woke up early during weekdays when I will take my breakfast and most of the times you will be asked to leave the place as the same time as me.

Public transport:

close to the metro station and bus stations

Restrictions:
No smoking,
No drugs
Other restrictions:

no pets
I can't stand cigaretts smells, so during cold seasons smokers will have to go outside of the building as I live at the second floor without balcony or terrace and won't let open the windows for them.

I do not want to host people who do not host themselves, whatever the reason, including the not-room-enough excuse (I know several people who host a lot while living in small 1 room flat), including the no-time-enough excuse (who doesn't have one or two nights to give in a month?), and including the my-boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't-want-strangers-in-the-house excuse (you have the boyfriend/girlfriend you deserve). The only exception is people who don't have a house or those who live at their parents (you don't choose your parents, do you?).

Family and close friends
