This place can be synthesized like this:
A wonderful location, an insufficient and even oppressive service.
Definitely not to go, as I think the people who managed this place do not respect the requirements of the Airbnb community.
The location is great, it is actually very close to the port area of Folegandros, which is great, nothing to say about it and location expectations fully respected.
Nevertheless, I would never recommend this place to any person who want to relax because of the behavior of the hosts.
In fact, the place is managed by Elena's family, whose some members were quite oppressive and unpleasant throughout our full staying.
Precisely, the father of Elena, Giovanni, who seems to generally manage the place, was repeatedly rude and disrespectful to us.
First, at our arrival to the Port of Folegandros, Giovanni came to pick us up (he previously called me few days before to inform me that he would have came to pick us up) and the first thing he said was "you don't have the right of the lift contrary to other guests who booked through Booking, you can reach the place, which is over there, by foot (there was not the precise address of the place on our reservation on Airbnb, so we could have not reach the place anyway) ..." Eventually we managed to receive the lift to the place.
After this first "welcome" we had the feeling of being literally sequestered for the check-in, in which we had to give IDs, sign documents and being measured the temperature.
There were many disruptions and malfunctionings in the room:
- toilet flush of low quality, and wrongly assembled, who did not sucked down the feces (sorry for this particulars, it is just to precisely describe). So, we had to ask twice the hosts to let to "clean" the toilet.
- shower curtain pole unstable (sensible to fall) and so dangerous
- hot water not properly dispensed
- wifi continously disruption (the hosts said it was a problem of all the islands, I am not sure of that...)
- kitchen not usable (there were no pots or anything, just some forks, spoons and knifes)
Basically, after a while, feeling this oppressive atmosphere we did not reported any of the disruptions. If we tried to report something we had the feeling that was our "mistake".
There was no privacy. Our room was at ground floor and hosts passed by continously, closing the sun umbrella of our ground terrace, or even asking us to switch off the AC.
One day, entering our room we found a note who asked to not live the AC open, or open an additional bed present in the room, with many explanation points...
Finally, we felt to being kept under surveillance and being controlled.
We think that these hosts do not realize that they are there to the "service" of guests, and not vice-versa.
Thus, we did not feel comfortable at all during our staying.
(For the sake of truth, the hosts borrowed us a sun umbrella for the beach...)
