Airbnb Reviews of My Childhood Home

I chose the place as a convenient weekend rental while in town for an old friend’s wedding. Right away there were problems.



'I chose My Childhood Home as a convenient weekend rental while in town for an old friend’s wedding. However, right away there were problems. Each morning, around 10:30, the hosts started doing chores so loudly it almost seemed on purpose. I tried to sleep through it, but one of the hosts burst into my bedroom with a vacuum, claiming she needed to “get under the bed.” Eventually it was too loud to sleep, so I just gave up and went downstairs to get breakfast where the other host was very snotty: He said “good afternoon” when he saw me, but I don’t think he meant it at all. ★★½

My Thanksgiving stay at My Childhood Home was pleasant and the hosts were generous. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were provided, as well as snacks. Even when they were not requested. Especially when they were not requested. Once, a plate of plain shredded chicken simply appeared on the coffee table next to me while I was already in the middle of eating a pizza. I would complain, but I did end up eating the chicken without really realizing it. ★★★½'>>>

Despite the abundance of food and oversleeping, I would lose 3 to 5 pounds visiting my parents because my mother’s house was a junk food-free zone.
