As it was my 1st time to book through Airbnb, I was not aware that the host and the guests would be living in one apartment. I usually book in different platforms/websites whenever we travel so I was always aware of the set-up and procedures. It's my fault that I did not ask about it this time.
The host was great and very accommodating. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the amenities were perfect.
It was me who was not comfortable living with other people. As I do not want others to get disappointed, my actions inside the apartment were restricted.
I would just take it as a learning experience that would help know more about people on the other side of the world.
Nevertheless, my husband and I are still grateful to the host for letting us stay in his apartment for 8 nights.
