Peter's place was lovely in every way. It was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed. Also some thoughtfulness around little things guests might need. Really enjoyed his oasis of a place. Location is great, close to the city (walking or train) - definitely a hipster, trendy vibe in the neighbourhood. What we did find troublesome overall was his interactions with us, it did feel like we were guests staying at his place and we should be gracious rather than paying customers that are owed an appropriate service. When communicating around checkin, we were unsure about our arrival because it was going to be quite a drive and not something we could completely prepare for - new to the country, traffic delays, gas stops etc. We also didn't always have a phone connection or working data on our phones as there were some rural, foresty spots. We communicated this all to Peter. When we arrived late he basically said too bad, can't check you in as he had other guests elsewhere to take care of. It would have been nice for him to inform us prior to that there was a portion of the evening he wouldn't be able to attend to us. We tried our best to be communicative despite delays and little phone coverage it would have been nice for him to be straight forward as well and more appreciative of paying guests. Overall, great place just be ready to deal with the inflexibility!
