The guest who booked my room was too busy to actually meet me so sent her boyfriend to check in. I was as accommodating as possible, agreeing to a very early check in, she asked for 9 which wasn't possible, so I agreed to 10. She was looking for student accommodation which she hadn't found, so was basically treating my place as student digs. She broke my house rules the first night when she finally arrived waking us up at midnight. Again waking us all up the following night at midnight which I mailed her about as she was in so late and we were up early and out to work each day of her booked stay. She said she hadn't realised they were being noisy. As they had been in a bar all evening I'm guessing alcohol was involved.
She had asked by mail prior to her arrival if it was possible to stay longer, and we agreed to meet at 9:30 the morning she was due to check out to discuss the possibility. One and a half hours later (and with my fridge now very clean!), she had not come down and after sending her two messages with no reply I went up and knocked on the bedroom door, for the boyfriend to tell me she was still asleep. I was really unimpressed and felt really taken advantage of. She came down 20 minutes later, not even particulary apologetic and I had by this time been waiting around for two hours. My cut off for her re-booking via Airbnb just half an hour away by now.
Anyway to cut the story short, I remained the professional host, I was calm and explained how I felt about their stay and that she was in my family home and I felt taken advantage of. She was not in return the ideal guest and tried to argue with me which I refused to become involved in. The result being me asking them to leave. It has been a learning curve for me!
