This was my second time using Airbnb and whilst the first time I had a great experience unfortunately this time I did not have a pleasant experience, this is my honest review.

Peter has been flexible allowing me to stay there with my miniature dog however he made it clear to me that it was because he needed the money (he told me so) ! The room/house was cold and damp (you can see the damp on the wall in the bedroom); on the first night I woke up in the middle of the night shivering like a leaf because no heating was on despite being the end of November and just 2C outside. I did not have a shower in the morning before going to work because it was too cold. The light in the bathroom does not work and the kitchen is very basic.

After the first night Peter asked me to get my own pillow and duvet and also to clean the room despite him charging £13 as cleaning fee and the room being full of dust and dirt which was there from before I moved in (I took photos of the pile of dust and dirt under the bed which could not have been caused by me as I reached the house on the 23rd November at 8pm and left for work in the morning on the 24th of November at 7:45 am). I left the house before the due date as I was too cold and did not feel welcome. Another point to note is that Peter told me that a road closed by (Carr road) was parking free, that was not true so I also had to pay £10.50 per day for parking…

I ended up changing my Eurotunnel ticket so that I could leave earlier not to stay there a night longer, I also lost an extra day of parking at £10.50 and let Peter have the extra day I paid for the room (£20). I have only been able to have a warm night sleep and a shower in the morning when I reached the hotel I booked for just £37 per night with breakfast :)
