Luke warm shower trumps gracious host
Fernando, the host, was helpful in navigating the surroundings and provided good advice for a local outing. On the other hand, he demanded a cash payment which came to me as a surprise and put me under considerable duress navigating ATM withdrawal limits etc. In the end he accepted a combination of Euros and dollars, which completely depleted me of any cash resources. None of the information from Hotels.com or from himself indicated that a cash payment was required. I only stayed for one night and had to leave early am to catch a flight. To my surprise the shower was lukewarm, and I was shivering while taking the shower. This is clearly a sign that the host is only interested in maximizing profits at the expense of his guests. None of the aforementioned niceties count unless basic needs are met.
