This was overall not a very good experience. The airbnb ad is very misleading and not representative of the real thing.
When we arrived at the appartement, only 1 of the beds was made, even though we booked for 4 people. As we opened the sofa bed to make our own bed, there were many dark hairs everywhere, it was obviously not cleaned. The host’s answer to this was « I m sorry to hear about the sofa-bed, the previous guests didn’t tell us they would use it and we didn’t double check it.. ». The overall cleanliness and maintenance of the appartement left to be desired.
Also upon arrival, the 2 washing machines in the appartement were running with bed sheets, towels and other amenities that were supposed to be available to us. They were running for most of the evening (loud and unprofessional). When I contacted Manolis, his answer was « I guess the cleaning lady forgot to put on the dryer. If it’s easy for you it would help us.. if you wanna use the washing machine you can just put them into the closet. ».
I don’t understand how you could ask your guests to « help you » do the cleaning they paid for, and if not to put wet sheets in a closet for 2 days.
For both instances of the massages above, it took Manolis 4 hours to answer us. Very unprofessional for arriving guests.
Most of the floors below the 6th (where the appartement is, last floor) looked abandoned. The « nice golden building elevator » seen on pictures felt very unsafe and looked terrible, not like on the pictures. We took the stairs.
We have rented appartements next to ermou street before and it was never like this.
The good things however were: the bathroom was clean, the main bed was very comfortable, the location was very central.
