-Communication and Check-in: Upon applying, I texted the host through the app explaining when I will arrive to the city (around 5pm) and leave the next early morning. He accepted my request then texted that he wouldn't be available until 7:30pm. I asked him to cancel because he accepted a request not fitting his schedule and wasn't my mistake but he refused and said he'll be there to let me in the apartment/room. As I arrived in Toronto he kept on pushing me to hurry up so he can go out right after I check in. I had no control over my 10-15 min flight delay but he couldn't let it go and kept texting and complaining. When I got there he wasn't there and I was let in by a guest who, thanks God, happen to see me struggling at the door.
-Cleanliness and preparation: The room wasn't adequately cleaned. The carpet was not vacuumed and a little oily. Waking on the floor felt unclean. The bed sheets had little pieces of dirt or mud on them ! The bathroom smelled and had no soap. There was fruit flies in my room indicating uncleanliness. The pillow was super thin and small and the blanket was thin and not warm enough. The host's wife, however, did bring me an extra blanket and towels (but not a pillow ) later when I asked. The overall experience was unhappy and uncomfortable.
