First of all I must say I have stayed in a lot of Airbnb’s and never left a bad review! The apartment was comfy enough but the description and pictures are obviously out of date and lots of snagging items and faults which need attention. The description says recently renovated, but not sure how long ago this was, as it certainly didn’t seem to be recently renovated! The place itself was very dim, even with the curtains and shutters fully open, the photos had obviously been photo chopped. We had to put on all the lights even during the brightest part of the day. The kitchen cupboards were all badly scratched and paint peeling off all of them. There was still litter in the kitchen bin. Both tv’s didn’t work (not that I want to watch tv but like to put on music channels). I messaged and was told that the antenna wasn’t working, and that was it, no message before our trip to tell us this or to say about it being repaired. Next the hot water didn’t work in the kitchen sink, my husband (being an engineer and very handy) worked out that we had to run the bathroom hot tap to build up the water flow to activate the warm water in the kitchen. The bathroom sink was very lose and wobbly and would have probably fallen off had someone lent of it. There was plaster peeling off the wall at the side of the shower. AC controller not the right one, messaged and was told that the maintenance people were supposed to be replace it – never did! Next the garden, not the “pretty” garden as seen on the pictures. Very untidy. The grass was very overgrown, there were cigarette tabs all over the floor – clearly not been tidied! I booked this apartment so we could have a little sit outside after long days walking and it just felt too untidy and uncomfortable to sit in. Half the fairy lights didn’t work and no hammock (not that I would have used it) – oh and also no tortoise 😊. I would definitely not agree with the description of the house as a “pearl of tranquility”. I actually paid a bit more for the fact that it had an outside area, but wish I had now not bothered!
