Host was not helpful at all when I asked for help with regards to the check-in process. Specifically, he gave misleading information about the "strict" requirement of showing a credit card at the desk, which resulted in us losing 2 entire days of the reservation. (Later, my wife was able to check in without a credit card). Later, I wanted to extend the reservation and this guy doubled the fee... granted, it's his right and I accepted it, but by no means I'm going to say this is a considerate host. My recommendation: Book directly from the hotel in this case.
