To summarise this apartment, I would say 'don't believe the pictures '.
Sadly, Sofia's place may have looked good a few years ago but is now badly in need of repair and some attention. There are so many issues to list but to name but a few:
- a broken ornamental bowl which was actually quite dangerous and we had to move to a top shelf in case our 2 year old touched it
- a broken lamp base held together by sticky tape
- a fridge with numerous rust marks and a kitchen which again had some sticky tape holding a part of it together
- a broken door handle
- mouldy shower cubicles
- a washing machine which worked once then stopped working.
- no cereal bowls or even a dish drainer to dry hand washed dishes
To add to all of this, the apartment hadn't been cleaned properly. There were still dishes in the dishwasher from the previous guests, the apartment was dusty in places and the shower cubicle had soap scum and water stains on the shelves and taps.
All in all, not the best Airbnb experience we've had. On the plus side, the location was good and Sofia is a pretty responsive host but that's where the good points end unfortunately.
