Gemma was a good host. She allowed us to check in a couple of hours ahead of time, and to check out a couple of hours after the expected time.
Mr Ali took care of the check in, but didn’t give us an invoice, saying that the host would do it the next day (she only did it later than that, after we called her twice). He also mentioned a house cleaning service that would run every day, but it wasn’t really true (we checked with the host), and we were not expecting any to begin with. It was just a little confusing.
The location is amazing, and the view from the terrace is fantastic, although it was so sunny that we could have used a big umbrella to be able to enjoy the terrace more in the daylight.
We experienced a few problems: the house was damp, and some of the ceilings and some of the walls were mouldy; the bathroom sink stopper would not go up, causing the sink to get clogged; there was a hole in the shower (where the drain is), and the shower would flood the floor every time we took a shower.
Nasty odours were coming up from the restaurants, so we had to keep the windows closed. Luckily the apartment had two air conditioning units.
