Don't Make Me Release The Flying Monkeys

I hear you on this one. I can only share rooms with people In already know, and even then, it better not be a long-term thing. And I need a clean bathroom. I've done my share of couch crashing and crowded room sharing. In each case, I was not with strangers. I can't do the mystery roommate thing, and I was lucky in that my college had single rooms for all upperclassmen. I've stayed in a Berlin pension with a private room (with a sink) and a shared bathroom. It helped that the bathroom was always super clean.
