My first bad review.
Let's be honest. What do you want when renting a holiday home?
You want the landlord not to bother you. You pay money for comfort, safety and privacy.
In this house you will not get any of this. You will live like in a hostel.
It all started well. The houseowner was friendly and treated me to my mother's cake (which I don’t eat because of my special diet). Despite the fact that I do not eat this, I was pleased. When I saw the big black dog, I was surprised because it was not said in the description. What did I see when I checked-in?
This is not a whole villa, but an outbuilding to the house, or rather a converted garage.
There is no private entrance to the villa. You will be constantly faced with the owners and their dog.
This extension has electricity problems. When I tried to use the washing machine, the landlord several times wrote to me in a hangout with a switch to turn it off.
If you are working online like me, a power outage can bring you loss.
The owner of the house did not warn that guests will have to live with a huge dog that growls at people. Each time they promised to isolate the dog from me, but did not do this.
Apparently, they added this detail to the advertisement later.
Therefore, if I knew about this, I would never choose this option.
You can not eat, sunbathe, or just relax on the terrace, because the dog will disturb you all the time.
Almost every time I went out to smoke on the terrace a dog came running. The dog growled at me and waited at the door several times. The owner of the house replied: "he growls when she sees people smoking."
I was going to go after this phrase, but the landlady convinced me that she would watch the dog.
But this did not happen. Each time the landlady apologized for having forgotten to close the dog, but nothing had changed.
I was very tired after the previous one trip and wanted to spend a quiet month in peace and solitude.
Therefore, I had no desire to move again, to engage in money return and seek other options. I just wanted to rest.
Banal things like laundry, taking out the trash, arrival and departure times you will have to negotiate with the owner of the house. What is strange for adults who pay money for a "villa". I really felt like a dorm.
When one day she wrote me with the question "When will I be at home?", The first thing I wanted to say was "Not your business," but I was polite, and said: "I have no idea." It's really funny, because the last time my mother asked me about it was when I was a teenager.
On the day of my check-out, the dog bothered me again.
My landlord did not answer my calls. Later she said that they had a party the day before and they forgot to close the dog.
I wanted to quickly leave this place and forget about it. As a result, I forgot my personal things in the house.
The landlord offered to send my things. And according to tradition, having promised several times, she sent nothing.
When I wrote to her that it was easier for me to buy new things and do not wait so long. I wrote to her that my stay and communication with her was unpleasant. I was polite as always.
She said that we were doing me a favor and I should stop being rude if I want to get my things back.
Simply put, she hinted that I should write a good review.
No.
It’s was a my fist bad experience. The landlord constantly apologizes, but does nothing to improve the situation.
It’s not a separate villa. It’s a outbuilding.
It was necessary to immediately indicate that it was an apartment in a shared house with a huge dog, an annoying landlord and problems with electricity.
Best regards
