This was a great, mutually beneficial exchange. Through conversations with the students (not teaching!), we learned about local culture, norms, and travel tips. The apartment is comfortable, with quality windows in the bedroom blocking street noise. There were places to work online in the off time and there’s a beautiful river park one block away.
