The place itself is great, but unfortunately Berit was blatantly rude when we reached out for help and it soured our stay.
The WiFi stopped working on our second day and so I asked for advice on how to get it working again. Berit responded the next morning, but refused to offer any suggestions stating that he is used to "polite and respectful communication", and that I should first thank him for his "recommendations and detailed information", and to retry messaging him again but maybe begin my messages with "Bonjour", since we are in France.
Our message to Berit that triggered all this was as follows verbatim:
"The WiFi has gone out since yesterday. Any suggestions?"
It was a really odd response, and I never figured out if it was an ego trip, or a culture clash of some kind. Other than our check-in info, we hadn't had any other communication with the host before that. This was my 36th Airbnb stay, and I've never encountered such a thing with a host before.
Whatever the reasoning for his response, in the end it meant we never were able to get the WiFi going again.
