Positives:
- very quick response to emails
- excellent location
- comfy small double bed
- kind enough to let me check in early
- showed me all the facilities in the flat
Now the one massive negative:
- the host does not state in the listing that she is not happy for people to work on a laptop from their room.
- I was made to feel awful because I hadn’t told her I would be using my laptop in my bedroom during my stay during the afternoon. I used my own internet dongle and spent a max 20 minutes on my mobile phone making a phone call (using my own data).
- I did not realise that his wasn’t acceptable and don’t understand why this is a problem. If I had known this I would never have booked.
- Diane emailed this to me (rather than talk to me) during the evening of my 1 night stay and since then the stay was ruined and I felt extremely uncomfortable being in the flat.
- I was there as a solo woman who would never dream to cause problems. If a host is not happy for people to work in their room during their stay, this needs to be clearly stated in the listing to prevent guest from feeling awkward and uncomfortable. Please don’t assume guests know it’s not acceptable to work. I honestly felt like crying and wanting to leave.
