We stayed here for a week. As described on the Airbnb website, the apartment is very well located and benefits from secure parking. This is one of the reasons why we chose to stay here. However, we were also hoping to make full use of the ‘well equipped kitchen’ to prepare dinner most evenings after which we planned to enjoy our meals in the courtyard. In fact, we found the kitchen to be unsuitable for preparing and cooking and we ended up eating out most lunchtimes and indeed every single night of our stay. Contrary to the owner’s description, the kitchen had no ‘stove’ or conventional oven, there were no compatible saucepans for the small, two-ring induction hob, and as a result two metal plates which should have been on display in a museum had been placed above the hob rings so that the existing pans could be used.
As far as cleanliness was concerned, the cutlery tray was dirty and so were the dishes and plates. Moss and mould had been left untouched on the table and chairs in the courtyard and to make matters worse there was a strong, unpleasant odour from underground water and sewerage pipes. As a result, we did not set foot outside during the whole time of our visit, despite the early summer heat. Representatives of the owner of the apartment - Francy, Michelle and Margharita tried to help but of course they could not change such fundamental problems and inadequacies. However, they deserve our thanks for trying.
