Would never expect such a horrible experience.
I hate being a Karen. This is my very first negative review on anything.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-CLEANLINESS:
Initially the place was clean.
Unfortunately, there was NO cleaning service during our 6-day stay. We had to ask for clean bed sheet replacement. We had to change the sheets ourselves.
As for the towels... we had to use the same towels for 6 days. Yikes.
*Note that I was charged 39.5€ for Service Fees.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- COMMUNICATION:
Communication with the host was just OK.
We did not get a chance to meet him in person. We met his mother who lived right next to the room. More on that later.
Overall he seemed like a polite guy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!!! COCKROACHES !!!
The place was likely infested with roaches.
We encountered cockroaches 5 times during our stay. The very first sighting occurred just 15' after our arrival. Of course we reported the issue to the lady next door.
The response? She asked us to leave a positive review & sprayed the place with a deodorant.
The solution? A bug killing spray was left at our door.
We did not receive a professional solution, for such a serious issue.
Roach infestations are pretty common and can happen to anyone. The way our issue was handled was the problem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-PRIVACY:
This was the cherry on top.
The place had two windows, exposing the whole interior (except the toilet). There was no way to move freely in the apartment, with the blinds open. But that's not all.
Every day, 5 minutes after waking up and opening the windows to let fresh air inside, the lady next door surprised us with a visit to our windows. Again, no regard for our privacy.
The way we received this behavior is like we were offered this place for free and we were not worthy one of the most basic human rights, Privacy. Also, it raises some questions on how she knew we were awake and had our windows open.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-ACCURACY:
The place is close to what you see in the pictures and has plenty of amenities for your needs.
No complaints on that part
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above, documents my personal experience. I'm not implying anything on the host & the lady or their intentions. What you've read above is up for your judgement.
