Had to stay here for one night as I was going to a festival the next day, and my friend was giving me a lift. It was 2 mins walk from my friend’s house.
Had some problems with check-in. I sent Diane two messages through Airbnb, letting her know what time I was arriving. I didn’t hear back from her. I stressed about it, then I thought maybe she hasn’t replied because she will be there. On the way to Manchester, I decided to just message her directly (which you’re not meant to do) but I was quite desperate by now, and she finally replied. There was no apology for not replying to my messages. Later on she gave me check-in instructions, but they were for the wrong house. When I got to the house, none of the instructions made sense. I called her and she instructed me over the phone how to get in. All of this stress could have been avoided if she had just replied to my messages.
None of the bedroom doors had locks on them and also the bathroom did not have a lock. I don’t really feel safe sleeping at night in a stranger’s house without a lock on the door when I’m travelling on my own. Very strange that there is not even a lock on the bathroom door when the house is being used as an Airbnb.
The room was lovely and spacious, and the house was very clean. I especially loved the chandelier and the mantelpiece.
