The only thing we loved about this place was the amazing view from the terrace, but we would definitely not recommend it. The actual cost was more than double what was listed on Airbnb due to additional fees including “optional” linens. Since when are bedsheets optional? Due to the extremely strict cancellation policy, we couldn’t cancel the reservation without paying in full, so I comforted myself with the fantasy that crisp cotton linens awaited us. Instead, we found threadbare yet somehow still scratchy polyester sheets that should have been retired years ago. As for the host, she was a kind enough elderly Italian lady who didn’t speak English, and asked us to meet her in town. After taking a fixed rate taxi to the meeting point, she then led us dragging our luggage up and down a kilometre of bumpy streets that the taxi would have spared us had she simply met us at the apartment. In the apartment, both the TV and the second light were not working, and the fridge grumbled loudly all night.
I usually leave great reviews, but in this case I cannot. I think it’s unfair that a place categorised by Airbnb as one price in reality costs double. The listing mentioned additional fees, but I trusted they would be reasonable like other Airbnb listings.
