mixed feelings about the stay

artificial friendliness dry food
The host provided a lot of information. I appreciate that.
The host seemed pleasant on the surface, but the friendliness felt artificial (a bit too rehearsed maybe?). we asked some questions about public transport after mentioning we already knew how to use it. the host insisted on explaining everything anyway. the breakfast also disappointed. The food tasted dry.
