Unpleasant experience. I Arrived on a quiet weekend. I woke up by building work on the Monday at 7.45 during my holidays. I mean proper demolition work with a skip in front of the building. The host simply reply ( after few nice messages) that she’s not the building manager.
They basically rented the flat without having any warning from the landlord! He must have had a warning for the whole building.
Air B and B could only get me a refund, for the days ahead. Then send me a link to the city of Athens for me to find my own place. Plus a nice message saying that the host would like me to leave ASAP (check out was at 11! I was corresponding with the host from 8am)
It was very stressful experience, costly due to the late booking.
Even if everyone was very polite (including me) in a time were travel is already complicated, this experience was not simplify by both the concerned parties. I keep a bitter sweet feeling. Not event proper apologies or a commercial gesture from any parties. Yes the flat was OK nice like the above people wrote. Was it worth it: NO.
The flat was clean but I think in the time of COVID 19, the effort to put some hydroalcoholic gel and reassuring note that the flat was properly clean would have been good.
