It's difficult to describe my stay with Basma... She seems like a nice person, but I frankly felt very awkward and uncomfortable during my stay. I thought that I was renting a sofa-bed in her living-room, but it was actually an L-shaped sofa to be shared with her! The worst thing was that she couldn't sleep, so I was kept awake all night literally until sunrise by the glare of her i-pad and weird camera-click sounds coming from it (I assume/hope she was taking selfies!) Then, in the morning, she slept until so late, I felt like I had to tip-toe around not wake her. The 2nd night, she kindly offered me a bedroom, but it had no fan, was beyond noisy, she didn't change the sheets from the last guest, and I woke up covered in bed bug bites :( I should have left, but I guess I didn't want to spend more time and money, I was on a budget, and only had one night to go, so on the 3rd night Basma wasn't home to talk to about these things, and I chose to sleep on the sofa to avoid the bed bugs and use the fan. This worked out well because at 3am I was woken up by her ringing phone, it was a late guest who had booked the room I was meant to be asleep in, and Basma moved all my things out of there, again didn't change sheets, to let the new guest in. On the other hand, she offered me fruit in the evening, and she seemed nice, I just think she's overstretched the number of people she can physically deal with at one time, and she should focus on hygiene and uncluttering her living-space, over quantity of people for profit . I could see that people renting the bedrooms had a much better stay - she gave them maps, metro cards and meals (I didn't require any of this stuff, I'm very easy going and not needy, but it was uncomfortable watching her offer this stuff to the other guests as I just sat there feeling awkward!), but I just felt in the way. I think Basma should just rent out her bedrooms and not offer the shared sofa space, for the wellbeing of both her guests, and herself and her own health and need for privacy. I thank her for trying, I'm trying to be honest and not cruel, and wish her the very best!
