DO NOT STAY HERE.
During my stay in Greece, I stayed at all Airbnb’s and this was the only horrible one. Booked for 2 nights and ended up leaving after one night and having to get a hotel because we couldn’t bear another night here.
Positives:
- location is great, you’re right in the city. Parking is tough so if you have a car, give yourself some time to find a spot (I believe parking on the street is free from 9pm to 8am.
Negatives:
- wifi: we needed this for work and the network name that the host gave did not exist. We missed out on a day and a half of work due to this and they offered no solution besides flip the breaker (which we did and nothing happened)
- mattress: it’s horrible. Unless you want to be literally poked by springs all night…host said it was only a year old…you can tell by looking at it that is not true.
- cleanliness: mould growing on curtains, stains all over the walls, stains on the pillow case, bathroom smelled horrible. I understand it’s an old building, but all the other units I stayed in were also old buildings and didn’t smell like this
- security: keys to check in were left in an area that is accessible to anyone. Upon getting to the unit, this made us feel unsafe as anyone could have taken the key and made a copy of it. The unit also does not have a private balcony, it is a shared balcony divided by a makeshift divider. This again, made us feel unsafe as whoever is in the other unit could easily access and enter our unit.
- hosts: this is the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. They gave check in information and all is fine. Issues started when we notified that the wifi wasn’t working and the mattress was bad. She offered no solution to the mattress and was immediate to argue that the wifi was working. After making the initial complaints, we read other reviews of the unit, and the hosts responses, and all I can say is that I recommend you read the reviews and HOST RESPONSES before booking. Host is argumentative and it made us feel unsafe making anymore complaints while we were still in the unit.
We left the unit as soon as we could and got to a hotel. Do yourself a favour and don’t stay here, you may find yourself having to fork over more money for a different accommodation. Many other, nicer units in the same price range.
