Lorena's parents are nice and helpful people and highly recommendable as hosts.
However, there are some critical points I have to mention:
- firstly, the place was much smaller than expected, which, admittedly may be my fault for doing bad research.
- more relevantly, the electricity in the tiny bathroom (that did not have any natural source of air or light) did not work for several days...
-...and neither did the radiator.
- Upon arrival, I found out that I had not supplied with the necessary information, such as direct contact information on the people that actually live in the house, the code to the main door, or at the very least the name on the doorbell I was supposed to ring, which resulted in me sitting in the cold on the street for half an hour, burning my mobile credit trying to get in touch with you (this alone cost me close to 20€, which is arguably not Lorena's or anyone else fault, but that of Swisscom and their price policy – I recommend anyone visiting Switzerland to check their mobile tariff and conditions first).
