Roughly 20-30min before we arrived, we got a text from Alan stating that we needed to park on the road. We were very confused by this, as the advertisement stated there was free parking on premises. This was a key criteria in our choice to stay here. Once we arrived we asked Allan about this and he stated that this was not advertised. However after double checking it’s definitely advertised.
Not until I delved deeper did I see under locations that this was only on week days. I personally utilise the AirBNb filter function to search for accomodation with parking. Once I have added that filter I should be able to trust that it then includes parking. Even a note in the discription would have been helpfull. However Alan has put this under location. Again I don’t tend to read that as I have obviously search for this location for a reason and do not need to know what is in the area. I find this false advertisement and misleading. Alan argued and initially dismissed this, defensive even when admitting that other users had the same concerns. In our persistence he agreed we could park in front of the garage, as long we were up early enough to avoid inconveniencing him and we left our keys on his hall table.
Another thing I need to raise is that it is advertise that you have the entire place to yourself. Again this isn’t quite the case. Yes you have your own lounge, bedroom and bathroom. However there is no seperation from the main house. Alan could come downstairs and enter at any time he wanted.
Both these experience have sullied my stay and I will never book with Alan again, nor would I recomment his accomodation.
