Could you please provide equivalent to what I wrote above using your way
of modeling? I will soon demonstrated with modeling above queries like:
"My friends who live in Paris and offer accommodation (~couchsufring)".

I wonder how you plan to query the data modeled in a way you propose.
Where, as I understood it, friendships use' Qualified Relation' pattern.
