The apartment was beautiful and wonderfully located.
Unfortunately, my experience with the host was less pleasant. I am not sure what the reason is, since he has had great reviews prior to my stay, and we initially got along well.
Eventually, it was hard to enjoy my stay since there was a lot of, in my opinion, unnecessary conflicts. What started as a lovely one month stay, ended up with heated voice messages of the host screaming because the water was out the last day - which I really didn’t have anything to do with. Between this, there was also a lot of unpleasant exchanges, e.g:
1. Asking to stay with me for the first 1,5-2weeks in exchange for 250 euro. Numerous times being told that he didn’t make much profit from my booking, and that he would rather have the apartment for himself. During the stay, he also asked to come to the apartment to collect and leave things numerous time with out much concern for my schedule.
2. Being pushed to pay for cleaning on dates which I couldn’t decide when it was initially communicated that it was optional.
3. Being accused of being inherently dishonest since I am a lawyer, while trying to reach an agreement for bringing in an additional guest, a question I informed him about the first day. At first, we were given a quote of an additional 15 euro/night, which was later more than doubled once my friend had already booked tickets. Even after we reached a conclusion, he continiously asked whether I was going to sneak in guests with out paying, although I had brought it up first with out any intention of sneaking.
4. Unclear instructions for check-in and check out (Last minute check in & check out time-frames).
5. Being screamed at since the water was off the last day. Followed by an apology, followed by being called manipulative since I didn’t accept the apology right away.
6. Etc…
All in all, it was a wonderful apartment, and I do wish him the best, but had I known the energy draining that would come with it, I would not have chosen to stay with Bar.
