This house was very clean and tidy, and communication was excellent prior to check in. It became apparent when we arrived however, that this was our hosts private residence and they’d just recently moved out - maybe for the duration of our booking. While this added a personal touch to the house (photos, pot plants and diffusers etc ) which was nice, it was too “up close and personal” for my ultimate comfort (full pantry, full wardrobe, courier parcel drop off (signature required) for hosts). Maybe I’m naive here but I will now make this a question I ask for further AirBnb bookings - ie is this a private residence or holiday home?
