We didn’t have the best stay here and it wasn’t a superhost experience. This was our first negative superhost experience. Hopefully, the last.
To start on a positive the view is amazing and the flat (not villa) is fine. Well equipped and as it looks in the pictures. Lovely fig tree which was a welcomed surprise.
A few things to bear in mind:-
1. This is a ground floor flat of a villa and there is a basement flat below which is rented out. We weren’t aware of this and wouldn’t have booked it if this was clear. We only book private villas.
2. The flat is nowhere near the location on the listing. It’s up in the hills and requires a car unless you’d like a 25min uphill hike in the heat!
3. If you do get a car make it small as the roads and driveway are narrow.
4. Communication was poor and the host, to our surprise, turned up at the flat with no prior notice.
5. We didn’t see the host until 6 days in (even though we asked to) and there was no house manual to explain the house.
6. We did receive a small refund as one bedroom out of 2 had no aircon for the duration. They were unable to repair it during our stay. However, they did fix a broken washing machine.
7. We had an early check in which we were grateful for.
All in all not a relaxing stay and not reflective of most Airbnb experiences.
