I stayed at Jean’s place from May 12 to May 23. I found it to be a negative experience. Jean is a very self-absorbed person and seems to lack the ability to relate to the needs and concerns of her guests. International visitors to London, such as myself, need information and assistance at least at a minimal level. Here are some of the examples of the difficulties I encountered while living at Jean’s place. 1. Problem connecting to the Internet. I have a MacBook Pro computer and could not connect to the Internet from her wifi router. It is essential for me to use the Internet daily for 3 hours or so. Jean was indifferent to this need for two days, saying that her daughter, Emma, would try to help me. Finally I had to sit at her computer and force her to contact Emma who tried to help make the connection but failed. I then had to get up at 5 am daily to go to the local Starbucks where I could connect easily. 2. Key left in door. The first day I was there I went for a walk in the local town and then came back to the house. Jean went out and then I decided to go out again, but could not find the house key she had given me. I searched frantically for an hour until Jean came home. I told her I had lost the key and she said she found it in the door. Why, when she found it did she not tell me right away? 3. Toiletry items. I put the items I need in the morning in the bathroom. On the second day I went to use them in the morning but they were gone and I was unable to find them. When I asked Jean about this situation she said she had put them in a drawer in the bedroom I was staying in. When I asked why she had done so without telling me she said, “It is more convenient.” How can it be more convenient for me to have to take out the drawer each day, bring it to the bathroom and them put it back? Why not at least ask me to move the items? 4. Failure to provide any information/assistance. Jean never gave me any information about London, including a map of the city and tube guide that was available for free at the nearby station. She did not offer to let me use an umbrella for use on the several rainy days despite the fact that there were two in plain sight. I had to buy one. 5. Failure to clean up after herself. Half-empty cups, dirty dishes, beer bottles and bits of dog food were scattered about the kitchen and dining room daily. 6. Poor breakfast choices. Jean provided two cold cereal choices: Triple Chocolate Crisp, a combination of high fat and refined sugars, and Alpen, which tastes like sawdust; bananas, and for five...
