I stayed in Paolo's house in Brussels for two nights and wasted an enormous amount of my stay on bad communication about all of the topics that caused either annoyance or direct problems for my stay in the city. First of all, I did not get the room with the door to a balcony that is posted on the profile: I got a smaller room with no door to the balcony. Second, the room was extremely dirty with large dust balls everywhere and so was the bathroom. Third, I did not gain access to the internet in the apartment until next afternoon. Last, communication was very bad and confusing and Paolo did not read the messages I sent him. When I addressed Paolo and suggested he might compensate for the lack of cleaning and the missing internet, he refused, got very offended and called me impolite in a long letter about him being a researcher on poverty and inequality and renting out on airbnb out of pure kindness. But apparently Paolo doesn't mind selling pig in a poke to unemployed people coming to Brussels looking for job opportunities.
