We stayed 5 nights at Michal's house and unfortunately it was a horrible experience. We are two families with 2 children and 2 babies. We arrived on a Sunday night to find the house all dirty, just like the previous visitor had left it. The beds with dirty sheets, the extremely dirty bathroom, the refrigerator full of food from the previous visitor, etc. When talking to the owner he told us that they had forgotten about our arrival, despite having spoken to him the previous day. He asked us to sleep in those conditions and that he would fix it as soon as he could. For the only reason we did not leave that same day is because at that time in the middle of August it was impossible for us to find another accommodation. We had to clean the house ourselves with the few cleaning supplies that were available, a task that took us until 2am.
Tuesday night we came back late from touring Lecce and found the house all flooded, due to a fault in the washing machine. We stayed until 3am getting the water out and fixing everything so we could go to sleep…. another nightmare that had to be cleaned up by us. The next day he sent a plumber who confirmed that the drain of the washing machine was clogged but the owner did not apologize for what happened. The worst part was that 3 days later, after our stay had finished, we received a request to pay for the damage that the water had done. The host alleges that we
had intentionally left the kitchen tap opened, incredibly dishonest attitude from the host who is clearly looking for money to fix the damages caused by luck of maintenance in his property.
To add, he lies in his publication saying that the house has 1.5 bathrooms when it just has a single bathroom, with a single toilet where the hot water lasts a glance. Being two families (8 people) that made our stay very uncomfortable. It should also be more honest in the description of the property and not lie about it.
Regarding the location, it is a difficult house to locate if you arrive at night and it is isolated from everything. This is not shown in the photos, but the number of security bars and padlocks generate a feeling of insecurity.
I highly don't recommend anyone to stop at Michal's house, especially because of his dishonesty and meanness. To protect its customers, Airbnb should review this type of hosts.
