Although the home is beautiful, I didn't really enjoy my month-long stay or feel that welcome, getting the impression that my stay was only tolerated because of the money that came with it rather than any interest on the part of the hosts to be anything more than landlords. The hosts were quick to respond via message, but they did not put any effort into communicating or conversing with me in person. They were away during my first week, so communication was done solely via message and gave the impression that they were friendly people, but the real-life interactions we had upon their return didn't quite match those expectations. Tom was not often around since he worked during the week and our paths did not cross much, but I was a bit put off by Nina's short responses to the questions I asked her and her lack of interest in talking to me beyond answering those questions. I have stayed at many Airbnbs all over the world, and as a professional adult myself I understand people have their own responsibilities and don't always have the time to give to conversing, but her behavior came off a bit rude since I only initiated conversation when we were already in the same room and she was clearly not too busy. She would give the bare minimum response and then proceed to ignore me, which made me feel quite unwelcome and as if I was some awkward third party she was forced to put up with. Every other host I've stayed with has always taken a little bit of time at least at the beginning of my stay to get to know me and allow me to get to know them, help familiarize me with their home, and make me feel like my presence in their home is welcome. I also did not like how they would frequently go away for days without telling me since that kind of information would have been nice to know so that I could dress and use the space more comfortably. As a practicing Muslim woman I wear hijab and dress more modestly when there are other men around, and would have liked to know that there would be periods during which I didn't have to take those extra precautions since I would have the space to myself. It would have also been nice to know that the lounge downstairs was available for my use since they were not home to use it but had still left the door closed, communicating to me that it was either occupied or not to be used. Despite this lounge downstairs being listed as "shared", the door to it was almost always closed when the hosts were home, leaving few to no opportunities for me to use it during the latter 3 weeks of my stay. So it is only "shared" in the sense that it is to be used by the hosts and potentially by the guests, but never at the same time. As mentioned before, the door was also often closed even when they weren't home, giving the impression that they did not want guests to use it at all even when it was not already in use. The listing also describes the rented room as having a "private living room area hosting two extra guests if needed" but upon asking out of courtesy if I could have some friends over one day, I was initially told by the hosts that they were not comfortable with me having anyone over while they were away, only giving me permission when I clarified that there were only two of them and they would only be joining me for only a couple hours while I got ready to go out. Their response was a bit surprising considering they had trusted me alone in their home my entire first week and found it exactly as they had left it upon their return, and I was unaware they were even away, only feeling the need to inform them of my friends' presence out of courtesy and not wanting them to be surprised if they saw or heard them. When I brought up the aforementioned "private living room" and the stated allowance of using it to "host two extra guests if needed", I was told this referred to paying guests and not personal guests, which didn't quite make sense since the use of the word "private" implies that the space was to be used by the person renting the room it belongs to rather than the hosts. If the hosts had intended to use the space for their own use, they should not advertise it as "private" since it can be misleading for someone who might be looking for a space that allows for personal guests at some point in their stay. During the entirety of my stay, there was also no heating in the room since they believed at one point that my heater might be a source of some leak that was causing the pressure to drop in the heating unit in the entire home and therefore requested I keep the heater off until they got someone to come look at it. Someone did eventually come during the last week of my stay, but even after that there was no heat felt coming from the unit in the room since this person simply inspected the heater and concluded it was not the source of any leak, without doing any actual work on the unit. The lack of heating was not an issue during the warm weather of my first week but proved problematic during the cold, rainy days of the remainder of my stay when the cold air emanating from the skylight directly over the bed made it difficult to get over a cough and cold I was suffering from. Anything in my review is not at all a personal attack, and I share it simply for the benefit of anyone else planning...
