I contemplated writing this review because I don’t want to sound as nasty and angry as I was at the time of the issue.
Firstly, the apartment is beautiful, the location CANNOT be beat and the price is totally fair. I wanted to rent again for 6 weeks next summer until the night after the first morning.
There are two bedrooms. Each one with double beds and a daybed in one of the rooms as well. We had four guests. My 12y, 18y old girls and my 65 y/o aunt. The first night, there were no sheets in the daybed, just a thin throw cover over the mattress. I texted requesting linens….not to be brought immediately but as we went to bed since we were surprised that the bed wasn’t made. No biggie. Maybe the cleaner didn’t realize. The response I received stated, “will drop by tomorrow”. Great. We went to bed. The next morning, we were heading out and I messaged “hey we’re going to be out and about but feel free to leave linens inside the apt or by the door if we miss you”.
Well that’s when it went ugly. At this point, the owners started attacking me stating I had never stated give people were staying there and linens needed to be requested ahead of time. I clarified the assumption and stated that we didn’t want to all sleep in the same bed. I was called rude for not apologizing for the misunderstanding. This was an issue that the owners did not have time to come by and fix and wanted to flip the tables. I felt so unaccommodated. My 65y/o aunt slept on a throw. There were no extra blankets. We went back and forth and the only day they came was the night before our last night. The fifth day.
Then I started to remember the little things how when I had asked questions prior to coming, the answers were short, not very warming-which I guess is the way it goes.
Other things that would have been overlooked had that not happened.
*met by someone other than owners who was unable to communicate or answer any questions on arrival (which I was okay with thinking the owners would be open and available if I needed to reach them).
*half roll of toilet paper.
*almost empty dish liquid
*clean looking floors (but turned socks black)
*no real wine glasses
*one of the double beds did not have a fitted or flat sheet either. Noticed this was a mattress pad after the fact of the daybed incident and didn’t get into it any further. This bed jus Thad pillows and the duvet.
All that being said, I would have chalked it all up to busy owners who don’t see these oversights if someone else is their caretaker.
My issue was the unapologetic and steadfast rudeness of the owners and their response to me as if I had done something to inconvenience them.
