We recieved welcome texts and farewell texts from host and was assured he was available for us. The host is a friendly texter but the rules are not as friendly. Much expected from guests with little given in return. Example: shoes must be removed, windows cracked open, trash disposed daily. Yet his apartment is not provided with clean dishes or enough linens or towels. The left over food in dirty fridge and bugs in the bed made the experience more of a camping experience than expected. It is a place to crash. It is not a place to hang out in.
