It was very quiet at night and the new, clean holiday apartment had plenty of parking. When the older lady (the host?) escorted us to the first‑floor room/studio, she suddenly stopped by the stairs and insisted we remove our shoes and leave them downstairs. We (75) were in motorcycle gear, boots, luggage and helmets (clean and dry because the weather was nice) and had to yank out our “slippers” while she wouldn’t budge. We understand the house needs to stay tidy, but her approach felt a bit odd; a timely heads‑up would have helped.
