I try to be objective as much as possible.
Me and my girlfriend was looking for an apartment near Lavapies for a weekend, because we had a workshop.
The apartment is very nice, comfortable, finished very nicely with all the necessary.
Near the apartment there is Lavapies metro station, a market and some pub for the evening, all very close to.
However, we had some comunication problems. The day before our arrival, Gerard contacted me wondering when we would have arrived to checkin.
I said that we would land at 11.45 so we could check in at 13.00. Gerard remembered to me that the check in was possible from 14.00.
As I said to him, no problem, we could eat something at the airport and check-in at 14.00; if we are late we can send a message.
The day after, after the flight has landed, we went to eat something inside the airport and when we were ready to take the metro,
we lost ourself inside the airport. There is no metro mark inside along gates!
When we took the metro was 13.45. We were late! We didn't realise about that but we were in time the warn Gerard.
So I sent a message to him. He was very disappointed, because, he said, that I told to him that we would arrive at 11.45 but It's not true, I'm sorry.
Anyway, he had another apointment but it was not a problem for us to wait. So when we arrived in front of the apartment we sent a message to him.
In 10 minutes he was there.
During the check in he illustrated us how open the door (it's tough to open/close), the city points of interest on a map , museums, many pubs, etc.
Also, a bottle of red wine was left for us as gitf! Onestly, from this point of view he was very gentle.
About the check out Gerard reccomended us to left the keys on the table and to close the door behind us.
The departure day, at time preset, we decided to left the window a little bit open to refresh the environment, also because it's inside of the building, so safe.
We left the keys on the table and slammed the door, warning Gerard that we was leaving.
After a while Gerard sent me a message very very disappointed, maybe angry, because the door and the window was open!
I explained the reasons about the window, it's inside the building. About the door, onestly... do you think that we did it intentionally?
I think the reason, it the door was realy open, is that the door is tough and when we slammed the door, checked it, it looked like closed.
We are very sorry about what appened. Just an advise to Gerard, without offend him, to prevent this situation you could check out personally or fix up the door.
Finally, we had just a little communication problem. Anyway, our stay was very good.
