    We've done this too. During the heavy rains and floods of Mumbai back in 2005, me and my family hosted 6 complete strangers for a night in our tiny 1 bedroom apartment. They didn't know each other as well. My mom made food for all and then most of us slept on the floor for the night. An unforgettable experience.
