From the start we were made to feel awkward and uncomfortable about using the kitchen and it’s facilities. This is despite the advert explicitly saying we could use these. The host reminded us several times that most people go out to eat - it’s important he respects every guest will be different.
The cleaning fee for just two days was £50. This can pay for a cleaner for several hours. The host needs to spend the £50.00 cleaning fee charged to thoroughly clean the house, especially the kitchen. The fridge was filthy as were the cupboards. The tea towel also smelt awful.
The host wanted to charge his guests £10 per day parking fee to the barred forecourt. This is exploitative when we found out he can buy a book of these tickets for a fraction of the cost.
The area is lively, and the double mattress was comfortable.
