Erbsen in einem Topf

The room itself was cozy and nice, the apartment not so much but understandable because people are living there. The first impression of the host is that he's very moody and has rules that he himself doesn't follow. First of all we asked if it's possible to check-in a earlier then 5:30 he said no which is also understandable because he mentioned this in his rules. The weird part was when he texted us before 5:30 asking if we'll make it on that exact time, his message: "I am asking as I have things to do and not sure will I be home the whole day." I'm sorry, but that's a bit rude, I paid money for a service you are providing and if I don't make it on the exact time then what? I'll have to wait outside? When we told him we will be on time he changed his mood and told us to take our time and enjoy Dublin. When we came he watched football the whole evening so apparently no plans. The live impression was way better he was caring and pleasant, showed everything in the apartment and informed about the other guests. The next day we had a text saying he will have 2 friends over and they will leave by 10pm which is very fine by us. Although the friends were smoking cigarettes inside the apartment and we could smell the smoke in our room. Also they left by 12am and made a lot of noise, as someone who's rules about noise are very strict I was hoping a bit more of an understanding as of what his guest might expect from this stay. I have lived in a student apartment so it was fine just a bit uncomfortable and not what we expected. Overall the stay was okay, the room was nice, the bus stop very close that goes everywhere. Just hoping that the host would understand the type of service he is providing and what are his responsibilities as a host supposed to be, not only what rules guest should follow ;)

The + : Good price for a letting at Dublin. The flat is clean. It's close of the city center (only 3/4 H on foot). It's very nice to have the possibility to use the kitchen. As the bedroom is small, it's pleasant to stay in the living room.
The - : We were often alone in the flat with the other guest. Sometimes, the owners didn't sleep in their flat : it's strange. Unfortunetly, no exchange with the owners, only by WhatsApp, according Tomy's rules. We would hope to have the possibility to speak each day with the owners to learn to know Irish people : We only spoke with ALEXA. If we can understand that letting his flat is good for win some money : it's dammage that there is no or very few exchanges.

No nos gustó el trato, muy distante y borde. La chica mejor que él, pero un poco ruidosa. No nos proporcionaron ningún tipo de ayuda o información para hacer cosas por Dubín, o qué bus coger, o cualquier consejo para turistas. Teníamos que entrar a las 15h, y hasta las 16.30h no pudimos hacer el check-in. Hacían ruido por la noche, la pared entre las dos habitaciones es de papel. La casa está limpia, pero huele un poco raro y la habitación en si es muy muy pequeña.
Lo elegí por las reseñas, pero no entiendo cómo la gente le pone tan buenas valoraciones.
