The first place was very clean, modern, and had a nice view, but our interactions with the owner/host (who is not the person you’d be messaging prior to arrival?) were not positive ones. The person who we were messaging before we arrived was someone named Mary, but we never met her and someone named Makis took care of everything while we were there. Neither of them spoke English very well, but we got the point across most of the time. The listing says that there are two beds, but when we got there, there was only a sofa and a bed, so we thought that the sofa was the other “bed”. There was only one set of blankets/sheets, so the next morning we asked for another set and when he came he tried to say that it was “the system’s” fault for saying there were two beds, but he also said we should’ve told him that we needed separate beds??? He tried to make us seem like we created a problem more than once.
Apart from that, the key to the room was a little tricky, it’s a hit or miss each time. Sometimes we could get it to work, other times we were locked out for awhile.
The location is great, you have a nice view of the water and sunset/sunrise, but it’s a very loud area. We heard music (pretty loud music) until 4:00 in the morning.
This may be a positive or a negative, but we needed to extend our stay another night and he allowed us to do it without a problem, but he told us to pay at his bakery downstairs and Airbnb clearly states that you should not trust hosts who ask for payments outside of the app. Because it was a weird circumstance, I don’t think it was a big issue.
Overall, we wouldn’t stay there again and are not pleased with our stay.
