I booked a 3 night stay and the host sent a message when I was about an hour away to say he had changed me to another room (not sure why) and that the room that I was meant to occupy had been given to another guest. The room looked nothing like in the pictures or the description on the advert. There wasn’t even a bedside tablet to put a drink for the night, no where to hang my shirts (or even a chair at least) for the meetings that I came to attend in Manchester. If the pictures of the room that I ended up in were the ones put up on the advert I would have definitely looked elsewhere because this wasn’t ideal for my needs for this particular trip.
From the place to Altrincham it’s definitely not a 10min walk as stated, it’s 35-40mins depending on how fast you walk or how much luggage you’re carrying. There’s a bus that runs hourly and sometimes it doesn’t turn up. I had to commute to Manchester everyday and this made it quite a challenge.
The bathroom was quite dirty I had to clean the toilet so that I’m able to use it. There was no lock on the bathroom door for privacy for when you’re using the toilet or having a shower. I would have felt safer and comfortable to leave my belongings all day if I had a lock on my bedroom door as well. The kitchen wasn’t clean either but I never used it except to go in there to put rubbish in the bin which was already full and smelly and there was another full black bag next to it.
It’s probably okay for crushing for just one night but not three nights like I did. I’ve enjoyed my Airbnb stays in the past but unfortunately not this one.
