Let me say this: Stuttgart feels very small, and as a tourist I would probably only spend an afternoon before moving on to other destinations. However, as we were staying with a local couple - Molly and Chris - we saw it through different eyes.
Located on a hill just above the city centre Molly and Chris have an ideal flat. A short stroll up the road and you'll find yourself in the middle of the forest. Surrounded by the tweeting of birds you can completely forget that you're still in the city. 15 minutes down the road and you're in the city centre with all the attractions of Stuttgart at your fingertips.

While staying in Stuttgart I relaxed into an easy and comfortable lifestyle. Each day started with fresh tasty coffee and delicious food. Daily plans were simple and free time plentiful. I felt stress free, and my mind opened to new ideas. I thought of peoples lives, and how all individuals have great achievements in their lives. Each person follows a path of discovery and each person has a story to tell. I researched into Mind mapping techniques and prototyped how this could be used to create an individuals profile. Like many of my ideas the concept was there, but making it into something more takes time and patience, and so this idea was put on ice.
By night my creativity continued - and after tearing apart a cardboard box I managed to make my version of Settlers of Catan. Not as flashy as the original but with a personal touch this game has proven to provide a social evening for many.
