False advertising. The listing was not as pictured, or as promised. The building was wrapped in plastic and scaffolding and we had no way to see out, or open a window.
(I understand that construction happens on old buildings, but it wasn't addressed when I booked, so imagine my surprise when I got there!) When I brought it up to the host, he dismissed my complaint and has ignored me. The correct response would have been to apologize and give me a refund. The pictures show the place as "white", but in fact he upholstered furniture is actually dirty and stained. None of us felt comfortable sitting on the sofa. Two of the 4 chairs around the dining table were broken with wobbly legs and were dangerous to sit on. The towels for showering were basically old rags, threadbare and rough. There is no information on how to work any of the appliances, so if you are not familiar with European appliances, you are out of luck. We couldn't use the microwave, clothes washer or oven. Host only supplies you with one tiny trash bag (no trash cans), which you are required to throw away yourself. When you shower, it's a a hand-held device, which is extremely difficult to manage while you are standing in an old bathtub with a moldy shower curtain. I dreaded taking a shower every day. Location required bus rides to and from all of the areas that a tourist / traveler would want to go to, or see.
