Our worst stay ever!
They will blame you for their issues and try to charge you a hefty sum of money after you've left!
The room and bathroom were clean. However, they are not attached. But that is also alright since it's on the 3rd floor and you have privacy. However, there is no lift.
Everything would work out just fine and I would call it a good stay, if the hosts did not act behind our backs. They had an issue with their bathroom door which did not have a handle and could only be closed with an old fashioned key inserted in the lock, and that particular lock had issues. The only form of ventilation is a window that has to be opened after each use.
After one such use, I had gone to get something from the room for a minute during which the door thud shut because of high winds and the window was open. Can happen with anyone. But the key was inside and we tried to contact the hosts immediately. They did not answer any calls. We went to the care taker who did not speak English but somehow managed to get her to understand. Deborah spoke to her over the call but did not talk to us and said she would call back. She did not. This whole thing took over an hour after we had returned from outside and had no where to freshen up or even wash our hands. We used the bathroom next door since it was open, just to wash hands (ofcourse covid) and it was an emergency. We called the hosts again and they finally answered - solution? My fault that the door got shut. They were trying to be polite on the call but their words were quite arrogant. Like, use the washroom on the ground floor - walk 3 floors down in my sleep when I need to use the washroom instead of the one next door!
However, they managed to get the door opened that same evening, so that was good. And we appreciated it. We checked out the next day, only to receive an email after leaving that the hosts are asking for 250 Euros for some marks that already existed on their "antique" furniture and for washing our hands in the bathroom next door! These with allegations of being dirty - due to the same marks! When we checked out, we made sure to show the caretaker the place and she okayed it.
This was plain ridiculous. We refused it and asked them how it was possible to leave any marks that wouldn't go in a day. They brought down the cost from 250 to 19 euros - to clean the water drop marks from the tap!
So much for being nice understanding hosts. We relied on the reviews to book their place, but although it was clean, the hosts don't have nay role to play. It is also worse than a hotel as at least the hotel people help you in an emergency and you are not left waiting, even more, charged for it.
I would also like to say - if the furniture and articles are so antique, why keep them in that room in the first place? We did not do anything, but someone might by mistake, and that person will have to pay a hefty sum! And there is just no point in staying at a place no matter how cheap or how clean if you don't have any scope of help during emergency. The place is also far from the city-center.
I urge you to not rely on reviews like we did and make the same mistake.
