Prior to my visit, Patrick was very helpful in sending me information on how to reach his place. And he provided bus information on arrival as well as a room heater which is much appreciated. However, I was quite put off by his refusal to let me use the kitchen to fill my water bottle (since the water in the bathroom is not potable). He asked me to leave the empty bottle outside his father's door which was very inconvenient since the latter was not in the house all times. Kitchens are generally common areas where guests can store items in the fridge, get water, etc. This is the first time that an Airbnb host has denied me such access. It demonstrates a lack of faith in the guest, and I would advise him to change this policy. As for the room, it is fine and very quiet. However, the bathroom is very small with a smell of sewage and the sink is tiny (almost below waist level) with no hot water.
