The photos shown of the attic do represent the space we stayed in. Although they fail to show the leaking air conditioning vent and loose wires on the roof top. The airconditioning leaks all over the roof terrace making it very dangerous as if you slipped and fell you could go over the side as the boundary wall is very low.
The air conditioning is also only in the main living area and doesn’t really work well enough to reach the bedroom – when we stayed in early June it was not particularly hot (only about 25 degrees outside) but even with the air conditioning turned down to 16 degrees the bedroom was still stiflingly hot.
To get to the attic you have to go up 70 stairs and there is no lift. This would have been just about manageable with a suitcase but the stairs were very very narrow, with sharp turns, small uneven steps and the whole staircase was falling apart, with holes, loose steps and wire holding some of the handrail together. In addition, the stairwell smells very damp and bad and when it rains, water pours in from the glass ceiling down the stairs making these even more dangerous.
Patri recommended her taxi driver saying it was much cheaper than a taxi from the airport taxi rank, so we took her advice. However, we were disappointed to find out later that a taxi to the airport is about €10 cheaper than her driver, so don’t take up her offer as you will be charged more! She also didn’t meet us on arrival instead sending an elderly Spanish gentleman who did not speak any English at all so communication was very difficult.
There were no proper toiletries left, only a almost empty and very old bottle of head and shoulders dandruff shampoo and an old bubble bath you have to use as soap/shower gel.
We raised all the above issues with the host, however, she refused to acknowledge any there was any problem and insisted her apartment is perfect. Previously Airbnb have been able to not publish bad reviews of apartments, however, due to the new CMA ruling to allow honest reviews, they should by law publish this which we hope will help future guests to avoid the issues we encountered and consider staying elsewhere! We actually left 3 nights early and moved to a hotel as soon as possible - we are still trying to get our money back as our holiday was ruined.
