It was ok. All a bit fur coat and no knickers though. I realise that as one of the UK’s first Airbnb hosts who has been a super host for over a decade and been hosting since 2008 that makes me a nightmare guest but even so……
For the money - and actually for a lot less money - I would not expect guests to check themselves in to an airless, dark room with the curtains drawn and no light on, and with all but one tiny window closed. Especially not on a warm, sunny, bright late summer evening.
I wouldn’t, for want of a shower door that fitted, leave my guests with the option of either leaving a considerable pool of water on the bathroom floor or having to spend time doing some serious mopping up.
If I did provide toiletries in refillable bottles I would refill them before they got below 25% full. All for saving packaging - but , whatever the truth, I would want guests to think that I cared more about reducing CO2 emissions than I did about the cost.
And finally,
If I was going to provide a fridge, and advertise that as a selling point, and, then taken the inexplicable decision to provide one with out an ice tray, I would at the very least put a jug of tap water in it. I’ve hosted all sorts of guests over the years. I don’t recall though one, who having arrived a bit late and stressed would , out of choice choose to walk over half a mile in order to get a cold drink with an ice cube in it.
Bed is comfy. Good quality linen and pillows. Phil the disembodied check in voice was responsive but it’s listings like this one that have contributed to the slow degradation of the Airbnb I knew and why as a guest I rarely use it nowadays.
