Seemingly great apartment in a good location with a charming host. However, two major issues left a very unpleasant taste in the mouth: 1 . The kitchen was infested with cockroaches; present in the drawers, cupboards, dish washer and work surfaces. This was reported to the host, however, work commitments prevented this issue being dealt with whilst we were there. As there are clear health and safely issues, I would suggest that potential guests request proof that this problem has been dealt with by a professional pest control company.
2. During our stay, the weather was particularly hot. As the host does not provide air conditioning or electric fans, my wife and I slept with the bedroom window open. One of the nights when we were sleeping, there was a sudden, strong thunder storm - as a consequence, a section of the rug by the window got some rainwater on it. Our view was to just let it dry naturally, and avoid walking on it. However, on our return, our host demanded an astonishing 105 Euros to clean the rug which she then received via the deposit system. I am a very fair-minded person, and I simply cannot just let this go - there was no way we could have predicted the flash thunder storm, and being asleep at the time, without any other means to keep cool, the window was, not unreasonably, open. I am now taking this matter up with the resolution team in order to have this money refunded. Very upsetting to end a family holiday feeling literally mugged.
