The location was excellent and the flat was very charming and tastefully decorated. Our stay was in general very pleasant, if it not were for the communication that occurred shortly after we've checked out.
David sent us a photo of a torn kitchen countertop surface, which appeared to be concealed by a coffee machine, which was uncovered by the cleaning staff. We obviously were unaware of it throughout our brief one night stay as we had no need to use the kitchen nor its appliances at all, with all the wonderful markets, restaurants and bars nearby. I think what was unpleasant about this experience was that David insisted we provide an explanation for the damage, even though we tried to politely explain that we had nothing to do with it. Truth was, we were just as shocked as he was.
I guess the lesson learnt here is - always inspect the place straight away after check-in. We naively failed to take such precaution, considering we were exhausted after a long journey. Though to be fair, it appeared that the damage was hidden or obstructed from view by the placement of a coffee machine, or so we were told. I guess there was no way we would have noticed that unless we were required to turn the whole place inside out and upside down :(
