We stayed in this airbnb for 10 days while in Alaro visiting friends. I was convinced that this place was a mountainous wonderland by the pictures and description of the house. Apon arriving and to our dismay we slowly had to learn over the 10 days of all the short comings of this place.
Space is dark :
The images on airbnb have been extremely photoshopped to make the house seem lighter because the house is extremely dark in real life. You wake up in pitch black and go to sleep in pitch black.
Parking :
There is no parking so if you come in a rental car you will need to make a plan of maybe parking in the town and then walking up the hill to the house. The host did say that there is a message on the description about no parking but when we went to check on airbnb there was no information about no parking in-front of the house. Lucky for us the owners of the house next door were not there and we parked in their parking bay.
Cold water shower :
Like the previous review the water goes from cold to boiling hot to cold and is extremely frustrating when you want to have a shower.
Recycling :
We wanted to separate our recycling and organics while we were here but the instructions for this as to when to put bins out on specific days were blurry and extremely hard to understand. When we asked the host she referred us to the A4 piece of paper in the house but no one could understand the handwriting or see the pictures because they were too blurry.
Glasses, cutlery and crockery :
The utensils provided were so old that most of them were rusting. The pots and pans were all rusted and broken handles and the plates were all chipped and broken.
The only knives in the house ( only 2 ) were blunt as ever and you could not even cut cheese or bread.
There was 3 massive cabinets that were full of glasses and plates etc but the cabinets were locked and said private written on them. This was a real issue for me as firstly it is not safe as someone could cut themselves on the chipped plates and secondly cooking in pots that are rusted is just a no-no for me
The nicest part of this house is the terrace outside.
