"It seems like such a hassle to be a Guest Address..."
Suppose you have a room to spare. You make the bed in that room, put down a towel and buy some things for breakfast.
The Friend arrives, freshens up, goes somewhere nearby to eat something, sleeps, has breakfast with you and leaves. And if you both feel like it, you have a drink and exchange stories. You don't have to, you can.
But be careful, because it can turn into a fun conversation. And before you know it, you'll be Friends....
