Deborah’s such a lovely host and the apartment was so cute and cozy. The huge windows really helped during this year’s crazy summer, and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. The location was also superb. We do have some areas of improvement to suggest, however:
- Check in and check out was facilitated by David, the caretaker. David kindly helped us carry all our luggage up the steps and even helped us with keeping our bags before check in. However, our issue was that he repeatedly said that “this isn’t his job” and that we “should” (as an obligation) leave a tip for him and the cleaners before we left. Additionally, he came in at 8:30 am on the day we were supposed to check out (check out time was 11 am) and that really disturbed us. He insisted that we leave at around 10 even though our check out time was supposed to be 11 am. Again he reiterated that we had to leave a tip for him. In the end we left him 20 euros - we don’t have a problem with this honestly, but we thought that the Service fee taken through this booking would have sufficed. This was unpleasant to us and in hindsight a little unfair because then isn’t this what Service fee through Airbnb is for?
- The apartment as expected was tiny - especially the bedrooms. the 2 little rooms were tiny to the point of being rather uncomfortable, and considering the size of this apartment it felt like the price was a little too high for what it’s worth.
