Advertised as a LUXURY apartment we found right from the street there was an air of dereliction about the building dark and dingy. While still on the staircase lets note that the apartment is on the first floor, let me observe that there were 46 steps (a long and hard climb). The entrance door to the apartment could do with a wash and clean up it looks like the door to cleaners cupboard.
Once inside it was jaw dropping, jaw droppingly bad that is. Surfaces were dusty and or sticky to touch. Remember that we incurred charges of 60 euros for cleaning after a 3 night stay and if the previous visitors were charged something similar there was no sign of value for money. I doubt that anyone actually got paid 60 euros and if so new PROFESSIONAL cleaners should be contracted.
The photographs displayed on AirBnb present a gleaming quite stunning apartment and therefor I believe that it was once so, and you pages explains “Apartment of 45 sqm renovated in high standard and Sparkling clean · 12 recent guests have said that this home was sparkling clean.” But not in recent years as it reeks of neglect and is being grossly misrepresented. There is paint peeling from walls and ceilings.
Sliding doors that required much heaving and pushing to get them squealing open or closed.
Various lights did not work and those that did are low powered. 3 ceiling lights were out in the lounge area the lights on the cooker canopy never worked at all so you had to stand in you own light when at the cooker or sink. While at the sink can you also note there was no tea towel / glass cloth provided.
Cupboards were jammed with half consumed packets of dried foods. Another cupboard was chock full of supermarket carrier bags.
No instructions were available for use of the TV or the cooker which both took a lot of puzzling out. The only help sheet was a single sheet of grubby and creased laminated paper with a map too small to read in the dim lighting.
Everything is badly worn and the entire place is in dire need of refurbishment, until this is done I suggest changing the description to habitable.
Positive ponts: An excellent location.
The bed was comfortable, however the quilt cover smelled of after shave lotion,
The shower was a good size water pressure, heat and power were fine, however another light not working over the shower.
I see your page says “Great check-in experience · 90% of recent guests gave this home’s check-in process a 5-star rating”.
In or experience we were messaged the night before we left home to tell us that no one would meet us as they were going away for a couple of days and the key should be collected from the bar over the road.
No one made any contact while we were there and we left the keys on the kitchen table on our departure. Whilst on the subject of contacts, I was first messaged from Havivi, then Eric who told me he was going away and in case of emergency I should contact Marianna. I have been asked to make these comments to Shellys Place ???? I also notice that in the past year Alain and David have been involved with this property.
I have photographs to confirm my observations should they be required.
