We stayed 6 nights during Christmas and new year. The apartment was centrally located, clean and with good amenities. However, we didn't have a great experience due to the following reasons:
1. The hot water in the shower didn't work (the water was cold!!) as some reviews indicated. We spent quite some time discussing and trying to resolve the problem with the host but the host seemed to focus on denying the problem instead of solving it until day 4th when her mechanic spent an hour trying to fix it and admitted there is a problem with the hot water mixer and it cant be fixed in the next a few days. So, we ended up not having a hot shower for our entire stay!! After much discussion, the host agreed to a partial refund, but it was a terrible experience in winter days during a festive season especially with 2 kids.
2. The double bed was made up of 2 single thin blankets and small pillows, which were very uncomfortable for two adults!
3. The 2nd bedroom was tiny! Apart from lying down, there is no space for anything else. For some reason, it looks bigger on the photo.
4. The main bedroom was very noisy at night with the bars and restaurants just around the corner.
5. Pia's apartment (or apartments with 30 listings) seemed to be managed like a business by AVENIDA TOURIST HOMES SL so there was no personal touch. The staff who checked us in doesn't live locally and were not familiar with the apartment. Communications were made only by staff of the business during our stay. It may only cost a few Euros but a few basic things like coffee and tea would have made a welcoming difference. We were only provided with 2 dishwashing tablets and 3 rolls of toilet paper for 4 of us. Following our request, a cleaner provided us a few more but the last thing you wanted to ask was basics like toliet paper after having spent more than $300/ night here!!
We had stayed at some great Airbnbs in the past where hosts were warm, welcoming and with good local tips. This time sadly it didn't meet our expectations nor the price tag.
