Having had a relatively quiet two weeks stay at Georgie’s place in October 2019, when the host was away (left with a house keeper and another guest) I re-booked for ten days in January with the expectation of a similar experience.
Unfortunately, however, my stay this time around was exceedingly uncomfortable because the host and her extended family treated me like an unwelcome guest instead of a paying lodger. I had very little privacy as the boiler and the Wi-Fi router were located in my room (not disclosed in the listing) and the host required access to them periodically. Moreover, the only access to the kitchen and toilet/bathroom facilities is through the family living area which necessitated awkward and uncomfortable intrusions. As my room was right next to the leaving room, the host and her extended family watching TV with a loud volume until midnight was very disturbing.
There is also a visible security camera in the living area, which to my knowledge was not disclosed in the listing nor was it explained to me on arrival.
Unlike other places I have stayed at the host did not make clear arrangements for changing linen or cleaning other than to require I keep my shoes off in the house which I did. Even so, after my stay, the host requested a £50 for cleaning the carpet, in addition to the cleaning charges already factored into the Airbnb bill.
