I was very interested in staying in a residential neighborhood and battersea park did not disappoint. Micki's place was clean, the bed comfortable, but upon arriving Micki was very unwelcoming. Maybe she was having a bad day, but she never apologized or warmed up. I was immediately overwhelmed by many house rules. She was kind enough to offer me coffee after a few minutes and then handed me a list of more rules. She was also kind and let me know she was going to the market and asked if i would like to come along. As I had mentioned I was wanting to do some cooking, I thanked her and went along. I learned at coffee that breakfast was not included, so note that. Micki also insisted that if i was to make coffee, that i would need to provide coffee, milk and sugar. A first for me with airbnb that a host would not provide a few teaspoons of these things each day for visitors. She assumed, when i asked, that i would purchase these large containers and take them with me when i left. I stayed a week, and from the first day did not feel any hospitality. A shame really, because I based my choice on my stay because of prior reviews and good stays. Even though the apartment was nice, I would not return to Micki's place again.
