My three days at Pier’s home were very difficult for me.
His flat is very clean and well situated; the room is quiet with a good quality bed. Pier accepted me to arrive late the first evening, and me to let my luggage at his home until 3pm the last day, that was kind of him.
But this man told me I was disrespectful and shameless and I didn’t understand why. My first evening at his home, I stayed 20 minutes in the bathroom when it is asked on Pier’s profile that the guests don’t stay more than 15 minutes. Pier could have reminded me this rule in a polite way, but he preferred to shout at me, telling me in a very angry tone of voice that, if I was not able to follow this rule, I had to leave his flat immediately. Then he added I didn’t have to stay in his flat during the day, that I rent a room just to sleep during the night.
I asked him why he was so angry with me, because nobody can have such an immoderate reaction for 5 minutes too long in a bathroom. Then he admitted he didn’t like my personality. He menaced to throw me out because he didn’t like who I am … what is this type of host ???
I don’t smoke, I don’t drink alcohol, I am sporty and I travel around the world to confront myself with other cultures, with no judgement about the differences. I have always been very respectful with my hosts (I use CouchSurfing, HelpX and Homesay).
My 2 next days at Pier’s home were courteous, but I regretted I didn’t take a room in a hotel. I would have been able to go back in my room to have a nap, and the staff would have been more polite with me !
In sum, the room Pier has to rent is perfect, but don’t expect to meet an open-minded man.
