Well, let me preface that at my age travel on foot is more challenging than when I was a decade or two younger. Preparing for a trip on foot sometimes leaves thing a bit chaotic. There was a general sense of miscommunication from the beginning with my host. I wasn't sure about some very important details in terms of arrival and many emails were passed back and forth between us where I simply asked him what worked for him in terms of my arrival. This time was altered subsequently as he seemed to suggest that a specific time was not set. I arrived at the location five minutes after the new appointment time not knowing how specifically to contact him. My cell phone was depleted and my tablet was malfunctioning.

He seemed rather mildly short tempered. He wasn't very communicative about specific details except where it impacted him. For example, he told me what not to when arriving in terms of not using the front door bell but didn't provide any specific information of how absent of that possibility I should enter or contact him when I arrived. I waited outside for ten minutes and then HAD to use the doorbell.

He was terse when I came in and showed me the room and the bathroom shower operation. His demeanor suggested further conversation was not an option. I found out that he was renting the other bedroom next to mine in the back to another BNB client.

My overall impression of the guy is that he just wants to rent the rooms with no hassle rather than put himself out to play host. Maybe my own trip based challenges were too complex for him, I don't know?
