There was some confusion in terms of first floor. In America, first floor means ground floor. In Europe, first floor means 2nd floor in America terms. So I booked this thinking no stairs right since it’ll be on group floor. Needless to say, I was wrong, there were 2 flights of stairs that we were not prepared for. The check in process.. I really did not like this.. we have a bunch of luggages with us and we had to go to a separate building which is 5mins walk with the cobble stones make it very hard to roll a rolling luggage and I don’t know why most drivers would not drive us closer to the apartment.. some say it’s pedestrians only??? But when I order an Uber for pick up, they pick us up, up close to the apartment unit.
Ok, I did like the location. Outside is a lovely farmers market.
However, I did not like how hot it was inside the apartment unit. There is no air conditioning. Even when it’s cold outside… it’s still musky and hot inside. And we can not leave windows open at night because of bugs so it gets really uncomfortable. It’s just so hot. The cold air does not come in even with windows open in the day time. It’s just not very ventilated.
I wanted to book an apartment with a washer so that was important but yuck.. after the first time using it, the whole apartment smelled like mold!! And I just feel like something was wrong there.. when we first checked in and I sat on the sofa with the cushions on my back, my back started to itch. When we lay in the beds, we feel like we are getting bit here and there by bugs. We started itching ever since staying there. The host is rarely ever responsive so I never mentioned the problem with the itchiness. It is so hard to get a response from the host. I literally have to contact Airbnb to try to get through to her. Just unacceptable and very uncomfortable stay. For the same price(after all the fees) I rather stay at a 5 star hotel.
