Good:
Nice flat.
Welcoming bottle of water, chocolates, tea and olive oil.
Great location.
Communication with the host.
Mediocre:
No hand soap.
Two toilet paper rolls for a 2 week stay.
No bed sheets for the sofa bed. It was communicated before arrival.
No vacuum cleaner and when asked about it a possibility of paying €12 per hour for a cleaning lady was offered.
Terrible:
Bedbugs.
The whole stay would have been lovely if not for the bedbugs. After third night I saw blood spots on the sheets and was puzzled by them. The next day I developed a pretty bad rush on my leg and then arms. After a week of our stay I found a bedbug in my sheets, the cause of my allergic reaction. I inspected the sheets and only then noticed previously washed black small spots on them-another proof of bedbugs. Contacted the host. An immediate action was taken. Appropriate people were hired to deal with the problem. The same day we had to pack our suitcases and with part of our things we moved to another flat for two nights (paid by the host). This new place was dirty and of a much lower standard. After that time we were allowed to move back into the host's flat. In an attempt to remove the bedbugs, chemicals were used. Therefore, the last couple of days we stayed in a smelly flat and slept on beds that were contaminated by chemicals. After that I returned to my home with a suitcase possibly infested by bedbugs. Had to spent money on disinfectants to treat my belongings. Part of them was thrown away as I couldn't do anything with them, part is being stored in a tightly closed bags in a hope the possible bedbugs will die. I have done extensive washing and drying of my clothing and am still fearful that I will have bedbugs spreading around my house.
Because I wasn't offered any, I asked the host for some sort of reimbursement. However, I was told that they pretty much didn't earn any money with my stay. After that the so far effective communication by the host came to an end.
I went on holidays to get some rest and was given a problem I wouldn't have had to deal with if the host had taken more precaution. My holidays were disrupted, the stay wasn't as pleaseant as anticipated and ultimately the host's problem became mine.
