The property wasn't at the address given on the advert. This was a nightmare stay. I opted for 3 weeks reservation as I was in London for work. Sarah told me I was not allowed to open my window for security reasons, but I did open the window when I was in the room. I came home from work the next day to find a metal lock had been installed on the inside of the window and I couldn't open it anymore.
The room was not bright and spacious, it was dark, cold and tiny. The room is at the back of the house which is surrounded by walls of other houses so the light doesn't get it, so I had to have the light switched on all the time. I couldn't cook food in the kitchen because the oven didn't work, the fridge was full and there was nowhere to actually cook/eat as the kitchen was tiny and no table. There was no shower curtain so Sarah insisted I crouched in the bath to wash, so I couldn't even have a proper shower.
Sarah was a controlling and very intense host. She insisted I leave my shoes by the front door and not take them into my room with me, she insisted I wear her slipper socks to walk around the flat and her flipflops to go into the bathroom. She told me off for choosing a different setting on the washing machine the one time I washed my clothes.
Sarah would send me multiple text messages every day and I felt harassed by her, she was very intense. I had booked to stay with her for 3 weeks for work, and she kept asking me to come home from work early so I could let contractors into the property to carry out work. I left after 1 week and moved to a different Airbnb and got a refund. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone staying longer than one night.
There were zero basic amenities. I paid £1,036 for my stay and I couldn't have a proper shower or cook, and she was constantly texting me. The flat is not fit to host anyone, and Sarah made it clear that she wants a flatmate and not a guest. The worst experience ever.
