This price of the room will only reflect the permission for the traveler to sleep and shower in the premises. My expectations were much higher from the host as I was also hoping to connect with someone that enjoys meeting new people and welcomes them accordingly in her habituate.
I want to be as frank as possible and share my story with all of you that will possibly stay with Line in the future. While, I cannot say much about her personality as we have barely communicated while I stayed at her place, I can explain some of the issues I came across:
1. There is no actual picture of what a tinny bathroom means, therefore I was expecting something small, but not that small. The cubicle was so small that while you were showering the toilet was literally between your legs and there was very limited space to turn around as you would hit yourself in the bathroom sink.
Furthermore, the water flow pressure was so low that it was quite impossible to wash your hair properly.
There is no ventilation system in the bathroom, therefore after each shower you must clean properly the walls and the bathroom floor in order to dry it up for the next user.
2. For the length of my 4 days, the kitchen was constantly untidy with dishes inside the sink and no actual space to prepare a cup of coffee.
3.The host send me a private message prior my arrival to not disturb her house after midnight with loud noises and socialise in my bedroom if I wish while I am staying there. From my point of view, I found her request appropriate based on the common-sense values and I have kept my word accordingly. However, I was profoundly disappointed about her lack of respect towards me when two night consecutively at 3 AM and respectively 1 AM the host was accessing her bathroom and kitchen making loud noises such as banging the door, using a hairdryer in the common area which was leading to the bedroom I was renting or even cooking (which would't have been a problem if the kitchen door would have been closed).
The most bothering issue was when I informed her about my very early departure at 5 am next day which involved me going to bed quite early, but as mentioned above I got woken at 1 am due to some loud noises coming from the kitchen area.
My disappointment comes from the fact that she has clearly stated her house rules before I arrived, I have respected her wishes, but when I had to receive my peace and good sleep I did not get any, especially when I was paying for this service it wasn't FREE.
Overall, I feel I paid a fair price for a room in an apartment that included access to a shower. However, I would have had lowered my expectation about my stay there, if I would have been made aware of the bathroom space (with pictures) and my sleep would have not been disturbed twice in the middle of the night.
