I booked Sian’s place for my mum who came to visit me and I couldn’t have her at my place. Unfortunately there were a couple of things that really disappointed us about the accommodation for the price we paid.
I’ll start by saying that the location was very convenient for us and that the pictures were accurate, I’d also like to point that communication has been ok and check in was made easy. But upon arrival I wondered if we did not check in too early or if the host wasn’t going to show up since there were a lot of personal belongings left (starting by underwear drying in the bathroom), I understand that some airbnbs are sometimes the hosts main place of living but it really did feel like stepping into a stranger’s private space as she had left food in the kitchen including the fridge and there was barely any space in the bedroom or bathroom for my mum’s belongings.
The cleanliness of the flat was ok but not impressive and a side note about the owner having a dog would have been appreciated to avoid any discomfort due to allergies (there were dog hairs on the sofa).
Finally I would recommend more details on house rules to avoid getting passive aggressive post it notes from neighbours.
I am honestly very disappointed to have paid so much for the experience, I was hoping to find a place for my mum to stay when she comes visit but it won’t be this place.
Oh and cherry on top was seeing a man smoking crack just outside the flat in bright daylight, not the host’s fault but again for the price that’s not the experience you expect.
