As someone who travels alone a lot and is a girl that gets hit on, followed, stalked etc anywhere I go…..I’m sorry but you sound like a retard! Pull up your own maps. Figure out your own way. Your host went out of his way to drive you and help you with stuff….if you can’t do that stuff on your own then purchase guided tours or something. So stupid.

The host isn’t meant to coddle you. Solo traveling means you must be self-reliant. You weren’t stranded, do you even know what the word means? Don’t you own a smartphone? Have you ever heard of Google?

Absolutely agree with the other people’s comments about your sense of entitlement. Your host was kind enough to help you book a Eurail ticket AND drop you off at the station. They don’t owe it to you to do that! Perhaps you don’t understand the concept of AirBNB? I travel alone all the time and if I’m going to a place I’ve never been before, I make darn sure that I have all the pertinent travel information before I get there, including rail travel information, how to get to the station, which bus route(s) to take to my accommodation or any other places I may want to visit. That is what traveling by yourself requires: PLANNING. If you feel you cannot do that, then don’t travel on your own.

You’re acting like a little child. Quite obviously, Airbnb is not made for you.

Ridiculous. You can use google maps to plan public transportation in Rome AND Naples. It has never been easier. Do you seriously not have a smartphone?

If you need someone to hold your hand and organize your travel – stay at a 4 or 5 star hotel and ask for the concierge’s help. This is not meant disrespectfully, but your host’s responsibility to HOST you, not to organize your travels. If you can’t navigate yourself in a different city, you probably shouldn’t travel on your own, or stay at AirBnB’s….

The Superhost is not required to help you navigate the city. Period.

I’m on the host’s side on this one. It’s up to you to find your way around. The host’s job is to give you a place to stay. That’s pretty much it.

Here’s the thing…You are, presumably, a grown adult. You’ve decided to travel and see the world. You booked a accommodations, not a your guide or a babysitter. You can literally use Google earth or a phone or stop and buy a map. I’ve never, ever had to ask a host to drop everything and provide a step by step guide to returning to the bnb. I’m not sure what you think you’re owed by the man who took you to the station, helped you book a train to Pompei,…?
