We had to meet at a church for check-in because the property is hard to find. It turns out John no longer lives in Mauritius, so his mother and sister picked us up.
The mother doesn’t speak English at all.

The apartment is spacious, but the bathroom smells musty when the windows are closed. On the first evening, we found a giant cockroach in the bathroom, followed by another in the bedroom—despite John assuring us this wouldn’t happen. While we understand cockroaches can occur in such countries, his dishonesty made it worse. Even his mother and sister couldn’t believed that he said that and laughed.

The fridge wasn’t turned on, so we couldn’t store groceries right away, and it smelled musty.

Location: In a residential area with loud roosters nearby.
