Sarah your post is offensive and quite frankly racist.

The OP is not operating an ‘illegal hotel’. As you should know, in London those with whole listings can let their property for up to 90 days. Nothing illegal about it.

Also the hosts English is much better than many Londoners and English people I know.

Of course Airbnb hosts are not the reason BREXIT occurred what a ridiculous and uninformed comment.

Steve – your comment was nasty. The host made a mistake. She recognises it. Why the name calling.

Louise I have to disagree with you regarding your sofa. A sofa-bed is a particular piece of furniture that normally folds out into a double bed with a matress. You cannot claim by any definition of the word that a sofa which you might chose to accommodate a single person on. Just change it on your listing.

Louise, it is unreasonable to “feel severely mistreated” by the guests simply because they directly complained to Airbnb and not to you about the situation.

Sarah and Steve, what nasty attitudes towards this poor hostess. One can see that she meant well.
Sarah, what has Brexit and mastering “English” got to do with it? You sound like one of those bitter remoaners.
By the way, property owners are not obliged to help the London boroughs accommodate their workers. That is the job of the LCC.

What a sad miserable person you are to rage at me like that on an online platform when you don’t even know me. I had forgotten how rotten people in the online world can be.
I’ll clarify once more for you, Steve, since your meagre brain seems to have a hard time digesting information: my sofa bed IS a sofa bed; it’s just not a pullout bed. Some couches clearly are not sofa beds as they are unsuitable or uncomfortable to sleep on. This is NOT the case with my bed. As I said I was unaware of the critical difference between a sofa bed, a term that according to Airbnb is exclusively used for pullout beds and a sofa. So yes, based on this I would have agreed with paying them back say one night, instead of 2. And to assume the guests were “suffering” is grotesquely overstated. Gimme a break. I had 1 kingsize bed and 1 single bed in the form of a sofa (that again, measured the exact same as a single bed…yes, I find people who make such a huge issue out of this, like you, intensely petty) so there was ample of bedding opportunity. Anyhow, I could go on and on to make my point, but pitiable souls like you are incurable and will relentlessly bitch over anything and anyone, just to vent all of their innermost toxic energies and project them on others. Seriously, get a life. So I’m going to leave it here, for now and ever, and redirect my energy to the good things in life!

Operating an illegal hotel – because that’s what you’re doing PLUS depriving hardworking Londoners from accommodation – and not mastering English?! You’re exactly the reason why Brexit occurred.

You were 100% wrong. The difference between a “sofa” and “sofa bed” is common knowledge and something that anybody playing hotel operator should know. Just because you’re woefully unprepared for the real world doesn’t mean the guest should suffer. To call the guest petty? You’re pathetic. You deserve every bad review you get – and I hope they’re many!
