It was my first time booking on airbnb and all bookings are put up by their hosts of course, whether it be entire flat/private room. Unfortunately for me Michele's place was just the room, although online it says room/Bathroom/kitchen.This is false advertising, I was under the impression I would have not had to share the bathroom and kitchen.
Michele was very welcoming but I feel that me and him exchanged enough words previously for him to have made it clear he also lives there. I and my partner (Same sex relationship) wouldn't feel comfortable sharing our space with a man.
When confronting Michele about this he wasn't at that compassionate, he was sarky and quite quick to walk back in his room without hearing me out. Now, of course there is tension in the house so I made alternative plans. Once the other apartment had become ready,I went to knock Michele's door to be courteous and thank him for his kind welcome and that we have found somewhere else, he rudely ignored both my knocks. He claims he didn't hear me knocking, that's hilarious when he heard my first knock when confronting him about problem.
If you're booking this apartment just be aware that it's a flat share and you will not have your own kitchen/bathroom. I am extremely disappointed that I was only refunded £51 out of £191 considering I had made it very clear online to Michele its my partners birthday!!! We hadn't even spent an hour in the property!! Almost £200 share a space with a stranger!! No thanks...
In future I will be more cautious!!
