I had an issue staying in Alin’s home, that was nothing to do with the apartment. It’s really gorgeous and very comfortable. He didn’t make me feel welcome. When I arrived he seemed terse. And in the second night, I had to cross the kitchen from my room while he was cooking, and again he tried to ignore me, until I forced a little conversation. This is fine on a hotel but we n someone’s home, it’s hostile. He has a pre-email he sends out at the end of your stay to smooth out any issues before it goes to review, and he excused himself saying he was just pre-occupied. But really, to a stranger in your home it only takes a “hello welcome, I’m so busy right now, but I hope you enjoy/ have had a good journey: whatever!”
Otherwise, it’s a beautiful, comfortable, well located space. And I really appreciated the rules, and found the notices and signs helpful. So, I guess I recommend it!
