26 nights stay review:
Before I start my review I want to mention that Theo will respond by saying that it’s a not true reflection to the actual accommodation. However, I assure you that this review is 100% accurate.
As a matter of fact, I understand that this is a family house and someone else lives upstairs. YET IT DOESN’T MEAN ITS OKAY TO CREATE SO MUCH NOISE UNTIL 3 AM! During so many days, we were woken up in late night/early morning by their noise. We had a course and an exam coming and we couldn’t even get a proper sleep.
Rating is as follow:
1. communication: 3/5: even though Theo responses promptly, yet his replies are sometimes underwhelming and unhelpful. We had an incident where the toilet door was broken before we arrive. I texted him and he replied with “Do you want my representative to come show you how to open the door?”. Excuse me but do I look dumb enough not to know how to open a sliding door? I replied saying no thanks I now how sliding doors work. Then he said he “would” fix it but this will cause me delays. Why would it cause me delays he should be the one following after this issue. He was merely avoiding the responsibility of fixing and even suggested that we fix the hole in the door using a tape. Seriously? Wow.
2. Check-in 5/5: honestly no issues here we checking in immediately.
3. Accuracy: 4/5: I would say pictures do represent what’s in the actual place but some things are broken or damaged. Such as the bathroom door which has a hole in the door itself.
4. Cleanliness: 2/5: oh my god. The place was filled with dust and spider webs. There was spider webs even above the shower heads. The wardrobe was filled with dust we had to clean it and we removed layers and layers of dust. I would literally get an allergic reaction if I left my clothes in it and wore them with all this dust. The bed was clean though and the bathroom was fairly clean as well. However, all the cleaning equipments were available(Besides vacuum cleaning). Theo was kind enough to let us use all the detergents and other equipments in the kitchen.
5. Location: 4/5: I would say the location was good. Bus stop is only 2 mins away. Few shops are around the area as well. Neighborhood is a little spooky at night, nevertheless, safe.
6. Value: 2/5: with the same amount of cash you can definitely get a better place but It won’t compare to this place with space. This place is probably the most spacious option you have yet not the most comforting or clean.
Theo did only ONE favor which is that he brought us 6 bottles of water and it was nice of him to do so. He will say that 4 guests stayed in the accommodation but that’s not true, it’s only me and my friend Isa. We had 2 friends in the beginning with us that where merely waiting for their taxi to come and take them to their accommodation (they waited with us for 30 mins only).
Conclusion: If you are looking for a stay for less than 3 days in a spacious place then this might be a good choice for you. However, if you are looking for best value for your money, you may consider other places.
