For €130 a night I had a roof over my head.
-There was no central heating in the house, only heat in the room was a noisy portable heater that blew hot air.
- I never met the host. Her mother let me in and was very polite.
- The host answered my first few messages but once I was checked in she stopped responding.
- There is no wifi on the top floor of the house, where my room was.
- I was told not to wear shoes in the house because of a "new carpet", which is understandable, but I'm also paying a cleaning fee. What for? Would not be a problem if the rest of the stay was satisfactory.
- The bathroom was freezing cold (unheated) and the hot water situation was confusing. Furthermore, it smelled like mildew.
- The host's mother said she had planned on getting milk but it never materialized. There wasn't any coffee or tea there anyway.
If this place cost €50 a night I'd be totally happy. But to charge what Grace does for this sub-par flophouse is absolutely unacceptable.
