When I arrived the host was out of town but your housekeeper let me in. She was very sweet, friendly and informative. She answered all my questions. The roommate living at the place was also very helpful and nice, he took me out and showed me around which I appreciated.
When the host came home she was very tired out from work. She helped answer my questions about going to la Scala & was generous enough to lend me a dress and shoes since I only had my travellers clothes with me. That was really nice and a big relief.
Although I had only short and limited interactions with the host , I did feel some moodiness. When she arrived home she got into a huge argument with the roommate. When I wanted to speak with her about some concerns, I felt like an imposition rather than someone paying to stay there.
This was more like a couchsurfing situation than something I paid for.
