This is my first Airbnb experience where I had difficulty contacting the host on the day. Firstly, I am not sure if we meet the Natasha picture here, as the lady we meet was a bit older. The Natasha we meet couldn't really speak any English, although we communicated really well via email in English, so I ended up communicating with her in German.

We had arranged to arrive a bit earlier at 11am, but it took us less time from the airport, so I just gave Natasha a call as she said she would be in the apartment. The number listed on the website was for some reason the wrong number, but somehow she got our message that I left on that number and was able to call us back. So we went to a nearby park while waiting for the call back.

Then when we got the building complex we didn't know which block it was, as it was also not listed on Airbnb. Again tried to call on the same number Natasha called us on (the one listed on Airbnb), but again no answer. There were some locals coming out and tried to help us and after asking three different people, one knew which block it was and we just ended up going up the lift and guessing it was the top floor.

As we arrived earlier than the check in time the flat was not cleaned, actually in quite a state after the last guests. Natasha asked us if she could have an hour longer than the check in time to clean. Which we were fine with.

The house in nice and the air con was great as it was fairly warm our entire stay. The balcony was lovely too. Natasha had two beach matts and an umbrella too that we used twice for the beach.

The dishes needed a proper clean, so we hope we left them in a better condition than we found them. The guests before us had a chocolate pudding or ice cream that was spread for some reason around the flat. Natasha got most of it, but there was a small bit in a couple of places, but nothing too drastic.

Natasha didn't really have any recommendations for restaurants, but told us the areas they were in. She gave us a bit of a guide for beaches to visit, but didn't know the names really.

However, Natasha was really nice in letting us leave our things in the appartment after the official check out time as we both had afternoon flights.

Location wise it worked well for us as we hired bikes and cycled a decent distant both ways along the water. The supermarket downstairs was fantastic, great not having to carry shopping too far in the lovely heat.
