The host was easy to contact before the arrival and was kind enough to come and pick us up from the port and take us to the apartment. She was quick to reply to our enquiry about WiFi access codes. The apartment was spacious, clean and bright in a quiet and safe area with basic amenities at two minutes walk and about 10-15 minutes walk from the port and restaurant/cafes area.
On the negative side, although the host knew we have a baby, neither on the apartment description nor during our communication did she mention that there are steep stairs to access the apartment plus a narrow metallic stairway leading to the bedroom. Further, we were strongly disappointed when we found out by text message that the host had entered in the apartment for “cleaning” reasons even though we had explicitly expressed from the first day that no cleaning was required and we were not happy for anyone to enter the apartment in our absence. In a period of 5 minutes, while we were enjoying ourselves at the beach, we received missed calls from the host and text messages that she had decided to enter the apartment without our approval for “cleaning reasons as she was expecting new guests the following day and that we would have to leave the apartment early”.
