AVOID IF YOU CAN
Host was passive aggressive and started creating extra rules once I arrived. For instance my two friends came over to see me in the room I rented and she then started banging on the door. Informing me she need to approve who comes in and out and dictating how long they can visit me for. She then complained about noise when I was watching tv on my phone using my data as the internet would not reach upstairs after multiple times troubleshooting.
Just for context they came over in the evening not too late and we weren’t making any noise they just wanted to come over and see me as I don’t live in the area. She then said I should run whoever comes into the house past her when she met when of them earlier.
If you are going to rent a room in a family house then maybe don’t have your son living next door to the guest as I was only watching Netlfix on my phone at a low volume. Also the host should consider paying tv licence to at least have a tv in the room as the internet was so poor could not connect to my phone or laptop.
Host was very wishy washy when my friend dropped me off with my belongings she said she couldn’t briefly park there. Even thought the host was having someone park right in front to collect her briefly. My friend then had to park 5 minutes away which was fine but the host kept complaining about why my friend was taking so long to arrive. Despite denying her parking for 2 minutes even though she has allowed guest to park briefly from previous reviews.
House is poorly insulated even with the extra heater she had added in that was plugged into the wall. Extremely cold in the house and the bathroom has huge gaps where it’s covered with rocks 🪨 .
The internet service was very poor and had bad single in the room I was staying in. She does not have any measure for the internet to reach the room like a booster or WiFi extender for her plusnet internet service that was poorly wired and had tape added on in the kitchen.
The room was dusty and I have a severe allergy to dust mites and never knew the condition of this room would impact my allergies.
She has a issue with moths as there was a dead moth on the blinds and on the right hand corner when going up the stairs on the top floor there was a large amount of deceased ones in the corner attached to a piece of paper.
The door for the room I stayed in also does not have a lock on the door which I suspect the host had access to my room and saw my items out of place when I arrived back at the house.
Bathroom was left one of the days with yellow liquids and there was dirt around the bathroom sink and a rag to use to wipe hands not even a proper towel.
Host also was rationing the toilet roll as she had it locked in the room opposite the one bathroom in the house.
I wish Air Bnb could upload pictures where I was able to add more context to what was going on.
