Deceptive wording “free parking on premises” -

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Katie1706 There is nothing deceptive in those words. Now how they are interpreted by certain hosts/Airbnb support  may well seem deceptive but you haven't really given us enough to go on here!

Hi @Katie1706 

Your post now seems to have been deleted?

I wanted to suggest that you confirm the exact parking arrangements with your host in a message inside the Airbnb messaging system when you book. That way they will be on record and you can request a refund if they don't offer parking as promised. 

As a host in Africa I frequently receive guests who seem surprised by the fact that it is impractical to try to get around here without a car. I suppose you are experiencing the reverse - hosts who seem surprised that guests feel the need for a car in Europe.

Be that as it may, parking should be properly described in the listing, and if you fear it may not be, it's best to double-check in writing.
