Not a good experience! This apartment has a lot of potential in terms of its location and layout however in its present state, given the problems we encountered from day one I would not revisit or recommend it. We found numerous cleanliness issues to include a blood stained mattress protector, stained mattress, pillows and towels, stained and unclean crockery/cutlery and utensils in cupboards and drawers on entry. The walls in the kitchen and living area are badly marked and stained with a mixture of cooking splashes, spillages and continual scuff marking. The breakfast bar is badly chipped and missing sections of laminate. The bathroom and shower cabinet suffered from a build up of grime in various locations to include the door seals and runners and in particular the plug hole which was filled with soap scum and hair and even after we asked for a deep clean to be carried out remained that way post clean. The tiled areas in the toilet had many areas of mildew and the wash basin was not sealed to the wall with the mastic peeling back and mildewed.
The furniture in the apartment was very tired, shabby and poor, the two breakfast bar stools were burst at the seams and the desk chair was extremely grubby with the faux leather worn through to the foam.
The outside patio area is large but due to the fact that despite the listing stating there is an automatic watering system this is not the case and we had to use this area surrounded by dead or dying plants despite my attempts to water them during our visit. The patio also has the potential to be a really nice outdoor eating space but again having a stack of brushes, brooms, a rusty clothes drier and buckets stacked next to the table is not acceptable.
As well as the cleanliness issues with the bed we spent the first three nights being constantly woken with the frame creaking and rolling together due to a sag in the mattress, on investigating whether we could turn the mattress to alleviate this issue we found both the cleanliness problems and the fact that the middle leg was completely broken off the frame. At this point as the owner was away on holiday, the agency, who co host the property, sent out a rep with a replacement mattress protector and when we detailed our displeasure at the state of the apartment the rep took photos, agreed with our assessment and stated that in his professional opinion the apartment should be removed from the market to allow a complete redecoration, upgrade and replacement of damaged and burst furniture. He apologised that this could not be done until after our stay and said he would secure the services of their handyman to fix the bed leg. The next day it transpired the handyman was on holiday for that week therefore I had to attempt a temporary repair using duct tape and some books (which lasted intact on a few of the remaining nights!).
Given the reps statement we immediately requested that the owner look at compensation given the apartment was not up to standard and certainly wasn't value for money at 96 Euros per night. At this juncture this request has been ignored and despite the agency appraisal the owner is refusing to take responsibility for the short comings while confirming that 'mistakes' have been made, 'issues needed fixed', 'improvements' were required and apologising for our 'inconveniences' but maintaining that all the issues were 'small' !!! and 'did not impact on your comfort'. All of our complaints have been the subject of photographic evidence which have been supplied to the owner with no response. We are regular Air BnB clients and this is the first time we have had to make a complaint of this nature about the worst experience we have had to date.
