I usually prefer to stay at someones house than to stay at a hotel, you get a much better idea of life in the city and you won't normally end up at all the obvious tourist places.

I love music, I love Hip-Hop, R&B, House, Drum & Bass. (Love M.I.A., FKA Twigs, J. Cole, Miguel etc) - Best TV shows would have to be Game of Thrones, OITNB. I don't really read much.
