Ive stayed in Gary and Natalie's house whilst working in London for 1 month. The house was nice and clean and room was a good size. Both were nice and welcoming majority of the time. Not being able to use the living room did make me feel like I wasn't at home though, especially whilst staying there for so long.
I asked them if my girlfriend could stay over for a weekend early on, they said it was not a problem. My girlfriend came for another weekend towards the end of my stay which I hadn't told them about due to not seeing them for a week as they arent always home & neither am I due to work. It didn't cross my mind that it would be an issue due to them being so ok with it previously. When we walked into the house Natalie asked why my girlfriend was there and why hadn't I told her. We both apologised, I explained I hadn't seen them for a week and hadn't thought to ask because they were happy last time and had met and spoke to her. Natalie was unnecessarily angry making us feel really uncomfortable and I apologised many times telling her I didn't mean to cause upset. She told me how rude I was, how weird I was, I have no manners and wouldn't calm down.
I then went to her to apologise again & to see if she had calmed down, to which she carried on being rude and still wouldn't accept my apology saying ‘I hope you are sorry’ and ’so you should be'.
I left £30 to pay for my girlfriend staying with a note apologising again on the table the morning after, which disappeared without any acknowledgment.
I had previously seen a comment on here about Natalie’s anger and the reply from G&N actually admitted this but I dismissed it thinking it was potentially the guest’s fault as well. However after seeing how angry she was just from that small incident I believe that she probably would loose it over something minimal.
I feel like I was a good guest and would never disrespect anyone or their house, I was never untidy, loud or inconsiderate.
