  We open our home to guests based on mutual trust. It isn’t a hotel or a boarding house with locks on doors: we don’t have on ours, and in fact I leave my room open to allow air to flow through the apartment. Andrea’s first interaction to me was to destroy that mutual trust when I suggested he do the same so his room could get air in the day (it is clear in the listing that the room is interior and as such doesn’t have a window) by acting nervously and saying he was worried about having his things stolen and as such was tying together his doors with his bag strings…a very strange interaction. It put all of us a bit on edge to have someone we had taken the risk to invite into our home where everything we own is, be acting suspiciously. To add insult to injury he then repeatedly invited strangers into our home and yet couldn’t see the irony that he was telling us he didn’t trust us to not steal his things…
  He had a problem with some other guests making noise, though my housemate who was in the room next door to them had no problems and as such nobody thought it was a problem as Andrea didn’t say anything to me (if he had I could’ve intervened) or anyone else about it until he got quite aggressive with me after we had to ask him to a) clean up after himself b) not invite people into our home without asking or even warning us (his excuse for these things was ‘he didn’t know the rules’….rules of basic consideration of being a guest) c) not to take things we had specifically said he couldn’t: He asked if he could take a fan from the living room to my housemate, she told him: no it belonged to our other housemate (she was using it to work in the dining room, then at night in her room), he then went behind her back and asked me and of course I said the same. We then noticed the fan had gone into his room (he also left it running when he went out along with lights on etc with no consideration for electricity bills) and as our housemate was away we assumed he must’ve asked her and she had let him use it whilst she was away. When she came back and asked where it was (it was ‘locked’ in Andrea’s room) we realised he had just decided to ignore both of us saying it was our other housemates and as we had a new fan for living room taken it upon himself to decide it was ‘spare’ and it was his now. If he had spoken to us about this maybe we could’ve arranged something but it was difficult as he often spent most of his time sleeping on the couch (even when he had invited his friends we didn’t know) and going out at 11pm at night and not coming back til late so of course wouldn’t have been awake for my friend to start work at 9am.
  My housemate spoke to him first about inviting random people into our home and about not leaving a mess in the kitchen for us to clean (I had to clean after him every time he used them kitchen, he also apparently had someone over for dinner and left things and dirty dishes all over the kitchen which he’d promised to clean to my housemate but instead had a nap on the couch then went out partying as he often did) then about this and his reaction was to argue and make up excuses rather than just apologise and be more considerate in future. Of course he’s not bad person but quite immature and his reaction to me saying but surely you know how to behave as part of a shared house or as a guest without someone telling you basic things like to clean up after yourself or check if it’s ok to have guests and not take other people’s things without asking suggests maybe he has never left home and has been a bit spoilt there…
