And all we know after all this is what we already knew before - TH acts mysterious with the laydeez. Didn't someone once say he never gave JA a key and she always had to ring his bell - and they must have been together for a year. Plus the rather ungallant "nothing to write home about" when he was seen with her again 3 months later at the Donmar and therefore clearly was seeing her when he said that.
If I was in another country visiting someone I knew well & had had a thing with 6m ago & wanted to see if it was worth rekindling I would expect to be staying at his place. Surely for them it is a lot more private than a hotel and it isn't a bedsit so space can't be an issue. Clearly things are different if it is TH! But consistent with his previous behaviour perhaps.
