We were very disappointed about the proximity of this apartment to said construction works - I mean it is in your face – it dominates the outlook in all directions (it’s a 4-storey building, and we are in the middle of the first-floor adjoining). The two buildings are connected at the point where our apartment is located. We didn’t feel safe to sit outside because of the exposure to dust and the chemicals that could cause problems to our lungs. The result is a lightless and enclosed space. We were awoken by drilling at 7.30 am. Therefore, we had no option than being locked inside in a dark space. Rang the owner when we arrived and left message but no response. No response to any messages sent via AIRBNB app.
The advertising is misleading – it portrays a light-filled apartment when the only light comes from a narrow gap between this building and the one next to it. The image of the building advertised portrays a stand-alone structure whereas there is a 4-storey construction zone adjacent now. The second balcony was not accessible as it comes off the second bedroom which is locked. We did not eat in the apartment it just felt too dark and sad – it’s not what we left home for. We booked for 3 nights but left after the 2nd night - we lost our money.
