An area has to be very dodgy for it to have a significant impact on whether or not I punt there, but there have been one or two cases where I haven't gone back for a return visit, despite getting a good service, due to the location.
You and me both pal, I always do, I even plan my parking from it, never park outside prossies gaff.
Same here - nothing worse than getting to the street name given and then finding there's nowhere to park nearby.
I'm another one who never parks directly outside unless it's really unavoidable, such as in rural areas. However, there was one occasion where I checked the location on Street View, saw it was a long road and parked about half way along. When I confirmed I was there and ready the girl texted me the house number and it turned out to be the house I'd been parked directly outside for 10 minutes. Just my luck...
