I wasn't prepared for there to be issues, seeing as Renaudon is a "super host" and her reviews seemed good, so perhaps we were just not a good fit... To start with, communication was poor in terms of directions to her place, and as a result I got lost. When I tried to ask for detail, she seemed to get offended and kept repeating the same phrases as if repeating them was clarifying. On top of this I was translating everything through Google translate, but I felt she was making no effort to understand me or compensate for the language barrier. When I arrived (at 11 pm) she was making point of implying that I made her late for bed, but the rest of the nights I stayed there she went to bed well past 11. The room, and indeed the common areas, didn't look as if she'd made an effort to make them presentable, with the towel seemingly tossed haphazardly on the bed, and a general untidy appearance overall. Some area were downright dirty (the kitchen and the trim in the bedroom). She never explicitly stated some house rules, so when I ate some fruit one night in my room (because there was no dining space and the kitchen felt dirty), she had what I felt was an inappropriate response of exasperation and belittling. While nothing went missing, she also went through my things without asking to rearrange my belonging in what I'm sure she felt was a considerate way (placing some things in the bathroom), but I didn't feel comfortable having my things handled. Finally, she had cleaners in while I was still there, with no notice in advance (only the day of), and while again nothing went missing, I didn't appreciate the intrusion and the lack of empathy about my discomfort. All in all, I did not feel at ease and felt that Renaudon did not seem to give me the benefit of the doubt in several instances but instead treated me like a problem. Perhaps this was just some cultural friction between us, but I was genuinely not prepared for the reception I received, given the reviews I'd read.
