I have mixed feelings about my stay with Ron. On the one hand my bedroom and the shared bathroom were very clean and the bedroom was comfortably airconditioned. The apartment was always quiet, even when Ron was at home. I felt that Ron was respectful and did not want to intrude. However, at those rare times that I saw him face-to-face, he always seemed rushed and answered my questions quickly and with very few words. I know he is very busy running his hot sauce business, but I ended up feeling that having me there was more of a bother than a pleasure for him. There was something else about my stay that I found difficult. All the shared spaces were completely filled with Ron's stuff (even the refrigerator), so that even to eat a simple take out meal I had to move things aside.
There was nothing in Ron's airBNB listing which was untrue, so perhaps I was just disappointed to not have a host that would take a few minutes to chat in a friendly manner and to leave room for me in the shared areas without my having to ask for it.
