Sarah sent email the day before arrival saying she was going away for a few days. Her Aunt was there to let me in and give keys, however she was not from the area and did not have any knowledge of local places to eat or supermarkets,.
This was my first Airbnb experience so was quite disappointed as I did it to gain some local knowledge.
The house was very hot, no air at night and very noisy with traffic , dogs barking, children screaming. Other guest came in late and very noisy during the night.
Being a non smoker I was not impressed to get up in the morning to find the house smelling of cigarettes and ashtrays full of butt in living room and kitchen.
I think this would suit a younger , smoking traveller better.
Sarah plus boyfriend and another friend arrived home the night before I left. Not much communication and they where all still in bed when I left at 11 am the next morning.
All in all not a pleasant experience.
