****DO NOT STAY HERE****
First of all let me say the host did an exceptional job of making it feel unlike any other Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. Upon a conversation with her she’s never stayed at an Airbnb and it shows with way the place is run.
- no towel is provided even though it’s in description
- the host has a full kitchen but you will be allowed to use the kettle and microwave. This is the only Airbnb out of 100+ stays where this has been the case. And whilst you might be able to make tea you won’t be able to have any milk because the host “likes things my way” and will suggest you buy “shelf milk????” - whatever that is- to keep in your room than offer a small amount of space in the fridge… this just feels ~unbritish~
- you will not have access to come and go as you please unless the host is home. You’re not given a way in the front door. So you’ll need to be home. I had to come home earlier than wanted a few times in order to not “bother them”.
-there’s a common area (living room/lounge) that you’re not welcome to use
It’s obvious the host needs money and is just trying to rent the room with nothing else in the house. It’s not a shared space it’s a place for you to sleep and nothing more. I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay there. I kept my things there and ended up staying in a hostel before the stay was over so I could use a kitchen.
