I reached shanghai at 10.30 PM. By the time I reached the Airbnb, it was already past midnight.

I was expecting a different host. My host greeted me with an American accent and an American boyfriend and an American roommate.

Can’t say the whole experience was pleasant, but that’s maybe we were sleepy, therefore a bit grumpy.

I changed and got ready for bed quietly. I then went back to the bedroom straight after that, even though they were still hanging out in the living room. Right before I slept, I wondered whether Airbnb was a bad idea.

It’s the next morning now. The room looks much better, and I feel a little lighter.
