I stayed here for one month in December. There were good and bad things about staying at this apartment but ultimately the negative outweighed the positive for me. I did not feel very welcome - more like an inconvenience than a guest. On the day I arrived there were old dirty sheets on the bed, which I had to take off and put clean ones on myself. The room was not as clean as I would have liked and the kitchen was very dirty. The host had made a lasagna and there were bits of meat on the table and around the sink for days afterwards, and the kitchen table and floor were dirty most of the month. I appreciated having a sink and toilet to myself, but at the time I booked the advert made no mention that I was expected to clean the bathroom before leaving the apartment. I paid a £26 cleaning fee but no cleaning was done for me (even though a cleaner visits weekly) and I left the room and bathroom in a cleaner state than they were when I arrived, because I was repeatedly told to clean them by the host. The advert had stated that cleaning at the start/end of the stay was included. The host was reluctant to give more toilet roll when my boyfriend arrived because she had replaced it a few days before. She also removed the soap from the bathroom a few days before I left, which was strange.
Also, the family were quite loud and it was hard to relax because they seemed to be arguing a lot in the room next door. I found myself avoiding going out to use the kitchen or bathroom. I would sometimes be alarmed to see that the host's 15 year old son was on the balcony outside my bedroom with his friends smoking, so I didn't feel I had a lot of privacy. Someone had clearly been in the room while I was out a couple of times, as things were knocked over and on the floor.
On the positive side, the host helped me to get a taxi to the swimming pool, gave me some directions and a few snacks and chocolates. I would have preferred to feel more generally welcome, however, and to have received a better standard of hospitality in terms of the cleanliness of the apartment and the other issues mentioned. Before I left, the host instructed me I must leave a review and give her 5 stars so that she could keep up the average. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it - it would be more worthwhile to book a cheap hotel where you will be treated more courteously. I am sorry to have to leave a bad review.
