Brenda and I had some communication problems through the BnB site, so it is hard to say how much this colored our interaction. I did not feel particularly welcome at first because of these mis- communications. Over time, I think we both warmed up. I was grateful that AirBnB refunded the 2 days I had cancelled 2 weeks prior, though it took some discussions and tension with the host to work this out, due to the AirBnB email issues.
