Writing this is hard for me, but Maria leaves me no choice. When we arrived, the apartment was super cold, and there were no instructions on heating. We asked Maria about it immediately, but she had not responded until the last day of our stay. We spent the first night shivering in jackets. We did find the device for heating the next day (desperate people that we were, we searched everywhere).
But the most bizarre thing happened after we left - she accused us of partying and thrashing the place. Allegedly the place was in a state "never before seen" and resulted in her cleaners spending an extra 5 hours. But the problem is - we never partied. We even cleaned the kitchen, despite there being a cleaning fee, so we didn't really have to do that. The only thing we left behind were unmade beds. She demanded more money with no proof of the apparent mess. Nothing short of extortion to squeeze a few extra bucks out of us.
The place is nice, but the host left us with a bitter taste.
