To begin, I would like to say something positive: The linen was beautiful and was lovely. The place was also (mostly) clean and tidy and it is in a great location. I enjoyed walking along the river in the sun and shops were close by. Unfortunately, this Airbnb was not what I expected and I am disappointed to have to write this and it took me a few days to finally get up the courage to do so, but I believe that it is the right thing to do to let others know how this experience was, especially as the other reviews on here are all positive and that is what I was expecting. I stayed at this accommodation for 3 weeks and was here for work purposes. The check in time is 'flexible' but I was given a time late in the afternoon (3pm) despite asking for an earlier check in as I had frozen meals with me. I asked if it was okay if she could leave the key out for me. The host told me she was working and due to the cleaner this was not possible, also she wanted to introduce me to the dogs- this I understood and was happy with the response. She then messaged later stating that I could arrive at around 1pm and I was very happy with this although confused as to why it suddenly changed. I arrived exactly at the specified time but had to knock on the door for quite some time as she didn't answer. When she came to the door and i introduced myself, I did not get so much as a hello and received 'I was cooking dinner' and she told me how to get into the apartment. She met me in the apartment with my parents as they were helping me bring in my belongings. My parents greeted her kindly as well and was not responded to expect with a look of anger. The 'house rules' does include no visitors and I did message the host to ask her if it was okay for my family to drop me off and to visit briefly on the weekend and was told this was perfectly fine. I was told this before the reservation was booked and if I had known that it was not okay with her I would have found else where. This made me very uncomfortable. My parents left and decided to wait for me out the front. While they were gone the host told me all the rules and I felt as if I was 'in trouble' before I had even arrived. I asked again if it was okay for my parents to come inside on the weekend and was told bluntly-no. I then asked to be introduced to the dogs and she said she would later. Later never came... Some of the rules of the house were ridiculous and passive aggressive sticky notes are situated around the house and outdoor areas. Some say...
