Caroline's place was a seven-night nightmare. The electricity went out the first night, leaving our cell phones uncharged, the refrigerator holding our newly bought dairy products and food warm and no lights in the bathroom room and WC. The electricity was partially repaired but we were afraid to use a hair dryer or the TV for fear it would blow out again.
We lost hot water for about a day and a half. No showers. No hot water to wash dishes.
In the kitchen, the pots and plates were somewhat dirty. There was a water kettle but no coffee maker or teapot. There were only a few pots available and they were in poor condition. We did not try to cook anything because of that, a big disappointment in our vacation plans.
Caroline did get the electricity fixed -- partially -- and the hot water restored. But that took spending valuable hours of our vacation communicating with her.
Our highly anticipated stay at her apartment was largely a disaster. I have asked her for a partial refund.
