We did not have a smooth stay at Ferya's place. She was out of town and we were instead hosted by her friend. He was a lovely and friendly grad student who went out of his way to offer us friendship. However, he was not well-instructed in how to host and we ended up with an unuseably dirty, fly-filled kitchen, having to help make our own bed, and other issues that were uncalled for given the high rate of the room.
She also kept poor records and tried to charge us twice for the second guest, stating that we did it without her knowing or consenting (definitely not the case). Although she eventually admitted her mistake and did not go through with the charge, the exchange added insult to injury after such an unpleasant stay.
Hopefully these issues will be ironed out and future guests will have a better experience.
