I actually like the idea of taking your shoes off at the front door because then you know the carpet is kept truly clean. This is not uncommon now in a lot of Airbnbs and I respect that. Your host is very nice, a very religious lady and she devotes herself to it. I had a really nice considerate roommate and sharing the bathroom was absolutely no problem. She lives a very clean diet and I learned some things from her regarding food and environment. I am sure she would share some things about optimum food nutritional value with you as well. On a funny note, there are beautiful towels in the bathroom... but "don't touch", just admire....cute I say.
