Awful Host, read before considering...

Liked: Location
Disliked: Before my friend and I even got the the BnB we called the host when we were about 5 mins away (as he had requested) and we were met with “hello how can I help you?” We told him we were on our way and the name of the booking and he just hung up the phone.When we got to the address we parked on the foot path that had dotted lines and cars parked up as it was clearly to park cars outside the houses. We rang the ring doorbell and the host told us he’d be out in a min.When he opened the door he berated us, not even a hello just straight to berating us about parking outside the address (prior to arriving I had messaged to ask where we could park and he told us outside of the house like we had done). He asked why would we park there? Told us it was illegal to park there (it wasn’t as I have now checked). We stood in silence at this grown man clearly in his 60s standing shouting at 2 young women.We apologised and said we thought we could park there because there were other cars parked outside the houses. He then very rudely and arrogantly said “now if jimmy stuck his hand in the fire would you?!?” We stood in shock at this and said sorry we will move the car we didn’t know we couldn’t park there. He then went on further to say how we were parked on a footpath, in peoples way and his next door neighbours daughter was disabled (clearly we had no prior knowledge of this). He then asked if I’d park like that outside my own house which I replied “yes, my driveway is just like this and I do that”. He then berated and told me off over that response.Yet again we stood in silence and awkwardly said we would move the car and just stared at him not knowing what to do and very clearly scared and uneasy. We went and moved the car onto the road which had yellow lines but also a parking section and other cars parked there as he told us to do that.

Superb

Exceptional

Liked: Everything about the room was good.Kevin the host, is also really sweet and lovely to talk to.He let me stay in the in the premises and leave my luggage till Ieft for my bus.He can also pick you up from the airport for £25, which is a good price, especially if you arrive late and busses are less frequent.

Exceptional

Unfortunately not satisfied. :/ For...

Liked: + clean. :)+ easy to find. :)+ bigger bed. :)+ own bathroom. :)+ good wi-fi. :)+ closed supermarkt and terminal with trains/buses. :)
Disliked: - unfortunately VERY VERY noisy Mr. owner. :/ I understand, that he is an older man - but his TV was so loud, that I heard that in my room too. :/ Also in very late hours! :/ I think, that he should think, that his guests do not want listen it too...- noisy also from other guests - so I slept with ear-plugs. :/- if you want to use toilet, it is not enough space for sitting. :/- room is really VERY small - maybe the smallest, which I have ever had. :/

The owner was great and...

Liked: The owner was extremely helpful and made sure to show me the map of Belfast and explain all of the transportation routes. He made sure I knew how to open the door and had me park the car in front of the building where he could keep an eye on it. The room was cozy, but clean. The pillow was great. There was a bottle of water for me and the shower had good pressure and stayed consistently warm.
Disliked: The bathroom could use a little work, the toilet lid was broken and it could’ve been a bit cleaner.

Comfortable stay

Liked: The owner was friendly and helpful. Gave lots of tips about the area and very welcoming. Tea and coffee facilities and fresh bottles of water were great, especially for day trips. Beds comfy, sheets clean.
Disliked: Little areas of cleanliness weren't great. Light switches, windowsills etc. BUT the bathroom was spotless. The photos show a Dining and living room which suggests access but they're closed off.
