On the last day I was uninspired enough to have a conversation with the host about the current situation in Ukraine, and he - a Russian man living in the Czech Republic - very casually shared with me his opinions and beliefs ("Ukraine is not a real country", "Putin knows what he's doing and he will win" etc.), which definitely made me regret choosing to spend my money here.
Other issues with the place:
- the bed: near it there's a faint but constant smell of mold; the headboard area was very dusty; the one pillow i got was in a cover twice its size; the bed area design (although pretty) makes it impossible to properly tidy the bed and rather awkward to get in and out of it.
- the bathroom: the shower is leaking and there is not mat in the bathroom; there's no kind of shelf in the shower for your things so you have to place them on the shower floor, which makes it uncomfortable an a bit yucky; you're only given two towels and you're expected to place one of them on the bathroom floor (I reluctantly got an extra towel after insisting and explaining I really do need an extra one for my long hair); the bathroom was constantly running out of tp.
- inside the house you have to wear slippers that are old and definitely have never been washed, although worn by who knows how many strangers before you.
- there's no washing machine and laundromats and pretty far away and rather expensive.
- the walls are thin and I was able to hear way too much, so to speak; even with headphones on.
