I warned up some medicinal tea in a pot first morning. Christine saw the pot in my hand bringing back to kitchen and said with high pitch of tone " what are you doing with my pot! that's very expensive I don't want to lose my pot!" Oops!! that was not a positive introduction to a new guest, renting a room in someone else's house, which is nerve wrecking enough, after walking thru unclean, cluttered, and smell of 3 dogs, saying myself,"it is only 3 nights, I can do this" over and over. then I was told I can use only microwave to warm up things, and only use set of dish in the room. it is a long story, in short, it was very unhealthy stay.
Last day for a few hours, I was going to wait for taxi somewhere around the house, to get picked up by taxi to airport, she was kind enough i can hang in in the backyard, which dog poos everywhere, I decided to go to airport early and spend time at the airport rather than cluttered and Dog poo smell in the backyard.
I found the hostess, neurotic, rude, very unwelcoming. she was like a mother superior in the movies. She was lovely, and happy only when she talks about her dogs. little that she knew, my nose was itching every time I walk thru living room.
The room and bath relatively good for the buck, surely she is a good person, but I will never even think about repeating the experience.
My impression is that she does not enjoy hosting.
