First things first: The location is excellent, and the views from the place are amazing.
However, there are a number of things that really need improvement:
- The owner does not answer on AirBnb. I wrote a question directly after booking (about 4 months before the trip). We never got an answer. On top of that, the owner even asked about our check-in time through Airbnb, ignoring my question. I replied with the time and a reminder about my question. He confirmed the checkin...and ignored the question. There is no note that he would like to be contacted otherwise, so this is just unacceptable.
- The place is falling apart. The dinner table is shaking, the plates etc. could use an upgrade (there are literally 4 bowls for a place that sleeps 6, one of which is broken), and while we stayed, a massive concrete part fell off the outside of our house. To be fair, we did get a salad bowl and an oven mitten after we asked (both of which also didn't exist beforehand in the flat).
- Again, communication: When we arrived, the guy handing the flat to us told us that the toilet flush was broken. You had to manually switch on and off the water and just let it run (which doesn't really flush much). We kind of fixed it sporadically and let the owner know (through W...App, btw), but told him that this will probably not last long. He said he'll fix it ASAP. We moved out a month later without an improvement. The same goes for the concrete part that fell off: He wanted to check ASAP - not sure he ever did in the 2 weeks after.
Overall, this place is in a beautiful spot and has great potential, but is super under-managed. If you stay a night or two and don't plan to be in there much, it's probably fine.
