Prior communications to guide arrival were not helpful, and looked like spam. Communications while traveling the same. Having no internet connection while traveling, I was kept in the dark. Solved it myself by calling (which still left some issues).
Host was intrusively present. Directing instead of hosting. Room was kept to be dark. No kitchen use (could not make a cup of tea at wakeup). Shower but not bath(tubbing) allowed for social reasons re fellow guest(bathroom time, ?). All in all: a bare minimum, then stripped down more.
