The lead up to visiting Irina's place we had excellent communication and everything was really easy!
The place is clean and tidy and good location for the Old Town.
However, we left feeling very disappointed. On the first morning we were woken up by building work that was happening directly underneath our flat. I messaged Irina asking if she new about the work and she said that it wouldn't happen again and the works were finishing that day. We were upset but wrote it off and continued on our first day of our holiday!
The flat gets very hot and due to it being located on the first floor, you can't keep any windows open for security reasons. However there is a little fan which goes to some way to cooling you down but could really do with air con.
The second to last morning we were woken up by building work again, we left for our day out and got back around 6ish to find the whole house stank of mentholated spirits.
We tried to air the rooms as much as we could before heading out to dinner but when we got back it was still just as bad.
We both woke up with headaches because of the strong smell. So, 3 mornings out 5 we had been disturbed.
Whilst we fully appreciate works need to happen on an old building, we should have been notified or at least compensated for this.
We don't often get away on holiday and left feeling quite upset that it hadn't been as restful as we would have hoped.
The batteries in the remote were dead, there was no bottle opener to open the wine she had left us and the hot water in the shower only lasted enough for one person.
We relecutantly post this but Irina hasn't contacted us since we complained and we've been back for over a week.
